Chale Island is one of Kenya’s precious jewels, a true paradise with amazingly white beaches and a crystal blue ocean, just off the country’s south coast. This small, tropical island is also known as a sacred kaya, one of the places of ancient worship you find along Kenya’s coast, which makes it extra special. What’s more, it has rich and diverse oceanic underwater life and offers a plethora of water activities. Lovers of water sports, diving and beach will feel right at home here, especially when staying in The Sands Hotel – the island’s only (!) and beautiful beach resort.
