Peponi Hotel
Peering through one teakwood door at Peponi Hotel, one faces the Swahili world. Opening the other, one hears the tide bursting on a coral reef and feels the first flush of trade winds. The Peponi commands a headland between the world of traditional peoples and a lonely sea. To the southwest, lies an eight-mile stretch of soft sands that the locals call crowded if ten people, in all its length, is visible.

To the northwest towers, the great sand dune where the bleached bones of the dead of a battle 175 years ago still surface when a brisk blows. Two miles due north lies Lamu, a small Arab town still ignorant of cars. Palaces made of coral encompass the streets, just wide enough for one fully laden donkey to pass. Swahili women, dressed in black buibuis, their hands painted with henna, sometimes can be heard singing behind shuttered windows. In the evening old sea captains converge on the wide plaza of the harbor, sit on the canons facing the sea, and talk of storms.

Peponi is a resolution of all safaris in East Africa. It is the journey's exclamation point, a retreat from hubbub where one can make sense of a fast life and its senseless details. Here is where I learn to redress myself on a first-name basis.

There are too many luxury hotels around our world and they offer the same; a chocolate on the pillow, a canned romance and a cuisine called haute because it's spelled in French. Peponi Hotel stands apart from them all for integrity to place. Architecture, views, beach, dining, sounds, smells are all exhilarating surprises, unique to this coast, this culture, Africa. Yes, you come here to be pampered, but at Peponi, luxury is the engine not the destination.

ж True to the atmosphere of a Swahili house, Kijani House rooms and central areas emphasize the aesthetics of privacy and space.
ж Each Kijani House room has a private veranda shaded from sight by arabesque archways and trees. The 10 rooms are vast and cool, shards of sunlight and ample breeze welcomed through tall shutters.
ж A canopied Swahili bed stands beside antique cupboards and tables colored with hand-painted Indian tiles and painted glass. In the bathroom, intricately carved mirrors set off the sensuous effect of the walls, ceiling, and floor in warm ochre, its heady oriental effect heightened by shafts of light filtering through shutters from the world outside.
ж Kijani House offers a retreat from the bright bustle of Lamu's waterfront a lush oasis of green gardens, pools, and cool rooms in their entire Swahili splendor.
