Property Description
The Fort at Shela sits alone in the middle of the sand dunes. Beyond the Fort are 7 miles of deserted beach. Extremely private, it is the last house on the sea front before the next village on the island, Kipungani, 4 hours walk away. Although quite isolated, it is but a short distance walk to the famous Pepponi Hotel, where to relax and enjoy the sunset or go for a sunset cruise on one of the dhows normally parked in front. The Fort comes with a staff of 10 people to take care of all your needs.
