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.
