THE NOBU VIEW

The stay

Kijani combines Shela’s coastal character with gardens, a freshwater pool and rooftop dining. Its eleven rooms and separate apartment vary in layout, stairs and air conditioning.

Kijani is a small Shela hotel with gardens, a freshwater pool and a rooftop restaurant, close to the village waterfront and jetty. Traditional coastal furniture, shaded terraces and an intimate scale give it the feel of a place to settle into rather than simply pass through.

The operator identifies eleven hotel rooms and a separate three-bedroom apartment. The Superior is a two-bedroom suite with a shared bathroom, while the apartment offers self-catering space and rooftop access. Upper floors, bed arrangements and exact adult/child limits should guide the choice.

Nobu would consider Kijani for travellers who want Shela’s character alongside a pool and on-site dining, or a family needing more space in the apartment.
