    gorgeous beach
    exciting excursions
    family-friendly pools
    lack of children's activities

    Staying at this beautiful spot was amazing! I loved taking a gentle cruise to the beach and spent time fishing with my grandchildren.

    My kids wished for more kid-friendly activities to keep them busy.

    A Vibrant Getaway Filled with Unique Experiences

    Our three-night stay was refreshing, featuring a delightful Beach Bar with delicious sushi and stunning ocean views. Try the fresh seafood platter while enjoying the serene ambiance. Travelers should not miss out on the vibrant sunset by the new 30-meter pool. Perfect for relaxation after adventures!

    sunset views
    fresh seafood

    Amazing, Amazing, Amazing

    The sunset views from the infinity pool were like a living painting, splashing colors across the sky! Every meal was a highlight, but I was especially obsessed with the fresh seafood platter-it was massive and oh-so-delicious! Plus, the décor captivated me, seamlessly blending Italian and Swahili vibes that felt like stepping into an art gallery.

    strongly recommend ❤️🌊

    artistic decor
    huge seafood platter
    new pool
    limited menu
    poor cocktails
    communication issues

    The Majlis drew me in with its beautiful beach access and multiple pools. The decor reflected an artistic blend of Italian, Indian, and Swahili styles, creating an inviting atmosphere throughout. I especially loved the Beach Bar, where I savored delicious sushi and watched the stunning sunset from the new 30-meter pool—a perfect spot to unwind. The seafood platter was enormous and incredibly fresh, making me wish I could order it again. I encountered a few shortcomings though. I noticed that the dining options felt limited across all restaurants, with similar menus and subpar cocktails poolside. Another area needing improvement was communication when it came to transportation to and from the airport. There were moments when coordination was lacking, leading to unnecessary waits. Despite these hiccups, the general vibe, especially during sunset, made for a memorable getaway.

    pool bar
    spa treatments
    seafood platter
    odd room layout

    I had such a fun time hanging out by the pool bar, enjoying some awesome cocktails while soaking up the sun! The beach access and relaxing spa treatments were just what I needed to unwind after exciting days, plus, the seafood platter was huge and absolutely delicious. Just a heads up, the room layout felt a bit odd with a single bed tucked in a corner, but it didn’t dampen the great vibes! 🌊

    I previously stayed in lamu, but this time at majlis resort was special. The sunset views from the infinity pool were amazing, and i loved the meals, especially the fresh seafood platter. Every detail in the decor, blending italian and swahili styles, resonated with my love for art.

    charming decor
    inviting atmosphere
    accessible design
    shaded seating
    limited accessibility

    The Majlis Resort's charming combination of Italian, Indian, and Swahili decor made me feel as though I stepped into a delightful art gallery at every corner. It was both inviting and accessible, making my stay particularly enjoyable.

    More shaded seating areas near pools would be great.

    beach access
    cramped room

    Enjoyed the beach access and a variety of water sports like kayaking. The room felt a bit cramped without enough storage for luggage. Nice happy hour specials and great service at the bar. Room did not have a kettle or TV, which was unexpected. Overall, the place has a chill vibe and lovely atmosphere.
