The Majlis Resort Lamu, Kenya - OFFICIAL VIDEO (2014)

The Majlis, a privately owned beach hotel situated in the heart of Kenya on Manda Island, Lamu, is a perfect blend of local tradition, Swahili culture, Western comforts, and luxury. The boutique hotel combines superbly appointed luxury suites with verandas that open out to sun-drenched beaches and mesmerizing seashores. The Majlis offers various recreational activities with a focus on wellness, adventure, Swahili culture, sailing, water sports, and fishing for adults as well as families who visit the resort along with children.

Threading the entire design ethos together is the hotel's name: The Majlis.

And it's exactly what the resort's designers have created: a welcoming space where you -- the honored guest -- can consider yourself at home.
