Welcome to Che Shale
A simple, stylish and secluded beach hotel on the coast of Kenya.
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.
Unhurried and uncomplicated, Che Shale is sure to charm you.
