For most of us south of the equator, winter is coming! The grey skies and cold mornings are upon us, which means its time for a vacation! Sun, beach and sea are exactly what the doctor ordered for the impending winter blues.
Chale Island, Kenya is the perfect winter escape. A private island in the Indian Ocean that provides the best that Kenya has to offer; pure sandy beaches, 5 star luxury accommodation and the best seafood available.
The boutique hotel offers unique bandas, an incredible honeymoon suite (suite on the rocks) and the only over water suites in Kenya.
All the rooms and suites are decked in high-end Swahili inspired furniture, giving all the guests an opportunity to really indulge in the surrounding culture. From hand cut wooden furnishings and Arab inspired ornaments, to the thatched makuti roofs of the bandas and suites, the hotel is designed to make guests get a real feel of Kenya and the melange of influences that have shaped the cultures along the coast.
The hotel has two stunning outdoor pools to cool off from the island heat, with a third pool specifically for diving training sessions. The hotel also offers a wide array of services and activities for guests, including guided walks around the island with their resident marine biologist, sea kayaking as well as a spa and massage parlour. The hotel also has a speciality seafood restaurant only for guests, which comes highly recommended by the management.
The hotel also has a range of special offers and packages that allow guests to sample not only the best beach holiday, but also allows them to go on various wildlife safaris in the Maasai Mara. For more information on these offers and how to book your winter break, please get in touch with the hotel staff here.
Finally, we leave you with a video that gives you a bird’s eye view of the Island and the amazing experiences you have to look forward to.
