The house features multiple independent apartments, each with its own entrance and amenities like a fridge, music system, and terraces with views on the city and swimming pool, which has four levels, making it a family-friendly space. The interiors are adorned with polished coloured cement floors and walls in tadelakt, with a minimalist design featuring mashrabiya windows, paintings, and decorative items from the 5 continents.
A highlight of Langi Ylang House is the extensive collection of books, music CDs, and DVDs. Guests will find a treasure trove of one-of-a-kind collectibles throughout the house, offering a unique experience for music and film enthusiasts. Additionally, a private library contains a vast collection of books on Swahili culture, architecture, travel, artistic and design topics.
Equipped with fiber internet, a well, and solar panels to ensure a reliable water and electricity supply, Langi Ylang House is ideal for international nomads, families with young kids, and travelers interested in local Swahili culture and international arts.
