We built our Arabesque Lamu style villa in 1985 - a double storey, 4 bedroomed coastal home in which all bedrooms are upstairs facing the sea. The dawn colours are breathtaking. The house is surrounded by indigenous trees - a paradise for birds and our local troupe of cheeky sykes monkeys! We love Msambweni for its unspoilt beach, safe swimming, good snorkelling on the outer reefs, steady trade winds for kite and wind surfing.
