A HOME
AWAY FROM HOME
Inspired as much by the location – the sea, the people, the island’s history – as she is by the sensibilities of European interior design, Katy Barker has created a home whose parts are equal to the whole. Described by The Times as being at the ‘top of the food chain’ when it comes to Lamu property options, and recommended by everyone from Conde Nast to Harpers Bazaar, Dhow House is a three story beach house frequented by, among others, Tracy Emin, Marianne Faithful and Paul Allen.

MORE ABOUT
THE HOUSE
Dhow House caters for up to 14 guests, has a staff of 6, and consists of 7 bedrooms, a dining room, lounge and a number of spacious terraces. Design-wise, the effect is extraordinary: stone floors, ornately carved furniture, sunken seating areas, shuttered openings, carefully chosen pieces of art…all of which are placed or positioned in such a way as to never seem cluttered, and are designed to make maximum use of Lamu’s light.
