About this video
This walkthrough shows Room Maji at Asili House — its softest palette, its garden-level steps and its bathroom. Maji is one of the villa's four element-named rooms sharing the oceanfront pool with Moto, Hewa and Dunia.
Maji is the ground-floor room on the left of Asili House. Its bed frame is dhow wood, and the cloth holders are made from blue sparkling-wine bottles, which no other room has. The Pemba-grass terrace was built for Maji and Dunia together. The bathroom, with a freestanding claw-foot bathtub, was renewed in 2020.
