THE NOBU VIEW
The stay
Banana House combines Swahili-style accommodation with gardens, a pool and yoga-focused wellness in Shela. Rooms range from budget options to spacious penthouses and family layouts.
Banana House & Wellness Centre is a small-scale Shela stay with Swahili-style rooms, gardens, a swimming pool and a strong focus on yoga and wellbeing. Arrival is part of the island experience: a boat brings guests towards Shela, followed by a short walk from the waterfront with help for luggage.
Accommodation ranges from Economy rooms to three different penthouse options. Families can also consider adjoining rooms with a shared bathroom, and a double with a single bed is explicitly described for three guests. Floor level and garden access vary, so Nobu would match the room to the party rather than assume every option opens directly to the pool.
The kitchen prepares home-style meals with local ingredients, and dietary preferences can be discussed in advance. Breakfast is currently marketed as included; other meals, treatments and classes need a clear offer. Banana House suits travellers who value an intimate atmosphere and time to slow down.
