Dive in to our pool and feel the breeze at Mbibo House in the Shela sand dunes

Unwind in our lush garden oasis, take a dip in the pool, and soak in breathtaking views of the surrounding sand dunes. Let the gentle breeze rustle through our Mbibo (Cashew) tree as you enjoy the serenity of this peaceful retreat.

Our spacious 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom home comes with a dedicated chef and attentive staff—all included in your stay—so you can truly relax and be pampered.

A 15-minute walk through the village brings you to beautiful Peponi Beach, or cross the dunes for a quiet stroll to the pristine shores of Shela and Kipungani. Though close to everything, our home feels like a world away from the bustle of the village.

We will also arrange your airport pick-up and drop-off to make your arrival and departure seamless.

We can't wait to welcome you to your perfect coastal getaway!
The villa features a kitchen, 5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, an electric kettle, and an ironing board. Change of towels is available on request.
