Move seamlessly from your bed to the beach - Che Shale offers tranquillity and quiet unassuming beauty. Isabelle and Justin are excellent hosts, who are there but never intrude. I enjoyed the simplicity of the meals - good ingredients, freshly prepared - and beautifully presented. The wine list is limited but remedial action was taken. Chilled dry pink was available... More

We had an great time at Che Shale. Welcomed at checkin with complimentary coconuts, our room was clean and comfortable and the food was incredible! The beaches are clean and peaceful and the staff/service is wonderful all around. One of the best vacations we've ever had!

A paradise hidden amongst a coconut palm avenue and an unspoilt golden beach. Stylish open Banda’s decorated beautifully with local materials and grey palm leaves. This is the perfect location to learn to SUP or Kite surf! Chris, the instructor, is simply amazing to watch and learn from. Left feeling like a champion SUP surfer… The owners, management and staff... More

What a marvelous place, lovely located, charming bandas constructed in respect of nature but with a lot of style and extremely fine lovely details. The whole place is in the same style and gives a very relaxing feeling. The staff is adorable and discreet, always there for all your wishes. For the kiters, nothing could be better, the kite-school is... More

Living in Diani Beach as a kite surfer, che chale is the perfect place for us to go to get time off and have a change from Diani life. Everytime we visit, justin and isabelle always put us up in a new room, a tent or a banda. There is always some improvement or other and some adventure to be... More

I kitesurf and rate the spot as one... More

I just returned from two weeks in Kenya of which the first 5 days I stayed at Che Shale. It was my second visit.Last year I travelled with my husband, this year on my own. The location is off the beaten track and feels beautifully isolated but at the same time very safe. I stayed in both the Che Shale... More

Che Shale was everything we expected and more. Unfortunately we had only booked 3 nights and moved onto another property thinking that the children would like more to do and perhaps a pool - how wrong we were. The sea and beach were safe and free of pushy beach pedlars. The food was excellent and really varied, The staff were... More

Top notch. Laid back AND efficient - a difficult trick to pull off. Great location, great food, great accommodation. The ONLY place to be on the Kenyan coast. Safe sea, secure beach (miles of deserted sand). Activities if you want them; peace and seclusion if that's your bag. Searching for constructive criticism (and you have to work at coming up... More
