Peponi is a small hotel on the exotic island of Lamu, in the Indian Ocean and off the coast of Kenya. Peponi is located at one end of the fabulous twelve kilometre Shela Beach on the Indian Ocean. The beach is one of the few remaining untouched, empty stretches of coastline in Kenya. It is the perfect place to rest after a safari or a hide away holiday from modern life.
Peponi is a small hotel on the exotic island of Lamu, in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Kenya, the very root of Swahili culture. Peponi is still run by the Korschen family, who opened the hotel in 1967 and it still retains much of the character and charm that it had then.
Peponi Hotel has a total of 24 rooms, which are divided into superior and standard rooms. All rooms at Peponi have ocean views. The superior rooms are separated by their location, size, private outside area, indoor plants, artwork and Swahili furnishings. Five of there rooms are built right on the beach, with private verandah areas overlooking the sea, while the rest have ocean and garden views. All rooms have overhead fans, mosquito nets, showers, fresh flowers and personal safes.
