Mayiana Villa in the Samburu landscape

Born of this place

Rooted in
Samburu.

A private architectural sanctuary created for those seeking seclusion, quiet luxury, and an authentic connection to northern Kenya.

Our Beginning

A home where the wild meets stillness.

Mayiana began with a vision: to build a private home in Samburu that feels completely at one with the land. While northern Kenya is renowned for its iconic wildlife and rugged beauty, we felt what was missing was a genuine private home — a place where travelers, families, and creators could stay without the schedule of a lodge or the rush of a tour group.

Mayiana means blessing in the Samburu language. From the soaring cathedral ceilings to the shaded terraces and solar-powered amenities, every corner of the villa is built to provide an unhurried haven. Here, mornings begin with fresh coffee as the sun lights up the mountain ridges, and nights end beneath a canopy of stars.

We operate with deep respect for our neighbors and the natural ecosystems. The property relies on clean solar energy, supports local community staff, and encourages travelers to experience Samburu on their own terms.
