The Sands at Chale Island offers a secluded, eco-friendly retreat on a small island just 12 kilometres south of Diani Beach, in the middle of the expansive Indian Ocean. The more than 40 rooms are spread over relatively simple bandas, elevated suites, a unique suite on stilts over the water, and a luxurious suite on a private rock, with each space designed with a Swahili-inspired décor, natural wood, and large private terraces. Various restaurants offer anything from fresh seafood to international cuisine – with sunset views from the Mkoko Sunset Deck as the perfect place for your aperitive. And don’t worry about missing out on anything because you are on an island; with three swimming pools, a paradise beach, a spa, and an outdoor yoga platform amid stunning natural surroundings, this island doesn’t leave much to be desired…!
