There are countless spectacular accommodation options in and around the Lovely island of shella but only one literally tops them all:stop over. This amazing guest house is one of the first places that you will notice as you arrive by boat into shella, Stop over is located at the water's edge and commands stunning views across Lamu harbor, Manda island, the Indian ocean and beyond. Built in traditional white coral stone and mangrove, Stop over has 3 levels and is finished in a minimalist fashion.

The restaurant serves up some great Swahili and international cuisine with fresh sea food being the specialty.
