The Property

The Sands at Chale Island is kenya’s only island resort on the sandy Diani beach. It is surrounded by indigenous forest is 16 km from the famous Diani Beach.

Stylishly drawing on traditional Swahili architecture, the reception at The Sands boasts an interior of warm, earthy tones that reflects the beauty of the island. Centred around a stunning private beach, the lounge areas are a collection of bright and breezy, open-sided thatch buildings, and the two swimming pools are the perfect place to cool off in the afternoon. Food at the main restaurant is a mixture of traditional Kenyan cuisine, Italian and Oriental, while quirky Katika Ziwa serves up fresher than fresh seafood, accompanied by those glorious ocean seascapes.

High Season: From $185 p.p sharing

Low Season: From $165 p.p sharing

Location

The rooms

Surprisingly there are almost 50 rooms on the tiny island, ranging from semi-circular rooms with verandas, to traditional thatched bandas with private lawns, and Penthouse Suites swaying high above the treetops. There’s also an Over Water Bungalow (the only one in Kenya!) a Suite on the Rock, built on its very own rocky outcrop and connected to the mainland by a bridge. All rooms have air-conditioning, en-suite bathrooms and all-important sea views.
