Our beach is like no other in Kenya and our daily life here at Che Shale revolves around it. It blends rustic luxury with space, zero hassle, and natural beauty. Far from crowded touristy beaches, Che Shale is a way of life.
​
Che Shale is the perfect place to simply sit back and watch the world go by; however we know that some people like to be more active! We have a selection of activities to keep you as chilled or as active as you like; from kiteboarding, deep sea fishing or perhaps venture further afield and explore the historical town of Malindi. Some activities are seasonal, depending on winds and tides.
From secluded beach walks to adrenaline filled watersports, this is your perfect day at Che Shale.
"Che Shale is one of those places you hesitate to recommend, because you realise you’ve found paradise and want to keep it a secret"
