The Red Pepper House is a place where the class and elegance of the colonial times meets the charming heritage of the Swahili culture, resulting in one of Kenya’s finest retreats.

Located on the picturesque island of Lamu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its unique historical heritage, The Red Pepper House consists of five nyumbas (houses), each seamlessly integrated into its surroundings and offering its residents mesmerizing ocean views. The construction materials and techniques, as well as the furniture, decorations, and artwork all illustrate the same unique mix of Swahili culture with colonial influences, all within an atmosphere of contemporary luxury.

In addition to the great restaurant and bar, guests will also appreciate the pool, chill-out areas in the forest and by the beach, as well as the library, which is well-stocked with books, magazines, and games. The resort also offers a whole host of enjoyable activities, like bird and landscape watching, snorkeling, fishing, Swahili cooking lessons, and tours of the breathtaking surroundings. So while your stay at The Red Pepper House will be comfortable and pleasant, the experience will certainly be a unique and unforgettable one.
