LOCATION: Set
upon a headland of Lamu Island, Peponi offers a view of two worlds.
On one hand, there are the historical scenes of Lamu Old Town, the
calling to prayer of the mosques, black buibui-clad hennaed ladies
and tiny, one roomed, local shops. On the other hand, there is a
magical tropical beach, considered crowded with ten people and rimmed
by the Indian Ocean's endlessly moving blue waters. SHOW

ACCOMMODATION:
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 differentiated by their location, size,
private outside area, indoor plants, artwork and Swahili furnishings.
No two rooms are alike.
Five
of our rooms are built right on the beach, with private verandah
areas overlooking the sea, while the rest have a combination
of ocean and garden views. All rooms have overhead fans, mosquito
nets, showers (no baths), fresh flowers, and personal safes.

WATER SPORTS: During calm weather, water skiing can take place in front of Peponi, otherwise, on High Tide, mangroved fringed Takwa Creek is ideal. Our well skilled boat drivers are also very helpful to give novices any pointers, or for those wishing to advance from two skis to one.
The coral reefs are three quarters of an hour away by speedboat. We provide snorkeling equipment, fins, goggles, etc and for the less courageous, a boogie board to float on while gazing at the ocean depths.
Of course windsurfing is also available under near perfect wind conditions. And we have great instructors for those that need it.For scuba divers there are PADI instructor courses from absolute beginner to Dive Master. These courses run from November to March.
Speed boat charters are also available for those of you who wish to travel quickly and see all the sights in the fastest possible time.
Facilities to teach children to windsurf and water ski are also available.
The Indian Ocean, off the coast of Lamu, is the home of some of the best game fishing around, offering Tuna, Wahoo, Barracuda and Sailfish.

HOTEL FACILITIES & SERVICES:
Our
bar is run by Charles, who will whip up our famous house cocktail
"Old Pal" in an instant or pour a fresh juice of
lime, passion, orange or even serve a fresh coconut with the
top whipped off allowing access to the sweet, milky liquid
inside. The bar is a favorite watering hole for quests and
Shela village inhabitants alike, with "its nexus of entertainment,
its fountain of gossip.
There
is no hurry to dine at Peponi. Breakfast is available in the
dining room or on the terrace or even in your room. The choice
is yours, from our wide selection of luscious tropical fruits
to fish cakes and waffles with local honey and freshly squeezed
lime juice. Coffee is poured from the traditional brass pots
and you can guess what our jam and marmalade is made of.
Dinner
is distinguished by a plethora of new ways of celebrating
seafood with ginger, lime and garlic. Mangrove crabs, warm
water lobster, squid, giant prawns and fish of all varieties.
For something a little more local, a Swahili menu is also
available, which can be eaten in the traditional way, on the
floor, around a huge brass platter.
You
may choose to dine either outside at the grill, under colourful
bougainvillea, where you can dig your feet into fresh white
coral sand or in the dining room. Or on the terrace, overlooking
the ocean and the movement of dhows and local fishermen.
Should
you prefer a light snack and not leave the bar, fresh rock
oysters are available or a range of samosas and sandwiches
all day. You may even prefer to have them sent to your room
with a cold passion juice or a local beer.
