Description

Che Shale is a small family run beach hotel situated just 25km north of Malindi. Distant enough from the crowded tourist beaches but easily accessible by road; kick off your shoes and indulge in miles of serene and deserted sands, against a lush backdrop of coconut palms and indigenous vegetation. With its blend of low key luxury and natural beauty, Che Shale has been one of Kenya’s best kept secrets for 40 years.

All the charm and peace of nature is captured in 8 uniquely designed, castaway chic style bandas (cottages) that combine laid back style and attention to detail. Fresh seafood by the beach, a crab farm onsite and a tempting array of activities to choose from – kitesurfing, big game fishing, dhow sailing, kayaking, and more - will keep you as active or as chilled as you wish to be.

    The food was exceptional, very good. I am not exaggerating when I say that it is the place where I ate the best of all those I went to during my stay in Kenya. The kitchen was always open and available to order anything at any time. At 4:00 p.m. a snack with tea, coffee, pastries ... available for hotel guests. The breakfast was very good, prepared to order and a good quantity and variety. The location is fantastic, next to some dunes, in front of a quiet beach with golden sand. The setting is wonderful. The room was very special. If you are going to do water sports this is a good hotel.

    Che Shale feels like a great escape where you can get away from it all. There's lots of nice comfy areas where you can just rest and read a book while listening to the soothing waves of the Indian ocean. The decor is deliberately ecofriendly which makes you feel authentically closer to nature. Food was yummy.
