Most awesome destination. The island is a gem. The restaurants food was so nice, from the sushi to the breakfast and the BBQ next to the swimmingpool. Beautifull and secluded. Perfect place to relax unwind and rest.

Great experience worth the price

It is a true secluded paradise away from the hustle and bustle of Diani Beach. The premises were fantastic, as was the staff and the food. Coming from a country with no tipping culture we really appreciated it that we didn't have to tip all the time but just enjoy and tip everything in the end. We also very much liked the different activities available which were all nice and well organized.

Magical, breathtaking and a complete breath of fresh air.

I loved the serene and friendly vibe felt across the resort. The ample choice of swimming pools, activities and bars to drink in provided plenty of options. The staff were also wonderful, helpful and always with a smile on their faces.

The island is beautifully located, and the transfer worked perfectly. We were warmly welcomed with a cocktail and a tour of the island. At first, we were not completely happy with our room, but the staff handled the situation very well, and we were able to switch to another room. The food and drinks are amazing, and the staff is always very friendly and accommodating. The beach is beautiful, and at the reception you can see which activities are planned for the coming days, allowing you to make reservations in advance via the app. The sunset bar is a must!

Chale Island is a wonderful paradise. Our first visit but not our last!

The venue is even better than how it is described. It is a beautiful island, only accessible by boat. The bar / restaurant options are great, so you can always find somewhere to suit you. Everything is so clean and there is an army of local staff always willing to help. Nothing is too much trouble - whether it is stocking up on bottled water, providing beach towels or arranging taxis to the airport. Rooms are spotless and well-equipped. There are optional activities each day, some of which are free-of-charge, like a guided kayak trip or paddle-board hire. We walked round the island each day at low tide and found lovely coral pools with starfish and small fish in. Every evening we sat out on the sunset bar before dinner. It feels a very safe venue. We loved our three nights here and didn't leave the island once during our stay.

Magical place!

A truly magical place that we will cherish forever – we’ve never experienced anywhere quite like it. The whole island is incredible, and the hotel itself offers so many beautiful spaces to relax. The staff were very friendly, the rooms were huge with stunning views, and the daytime food was excellent. Evening meals had three options and were very enjoyable.

Wonderful stay in a peaceful island.

Wonderful resort, quiet and peaceful will all needed facilities. Three different restaurants to diversify the tastes, large pool, direct access to the beach and many water sports activities available. A breathtaking spot available to watch the sunset. Very nice and welcoming staff. Totally worth the price.

Magical

This place was simply magical, from the well crafted grounds and friendly staff to the stunning landscapes and enchanting wildlife. I don't think I could find a single fault with it. It exceeded all my expectations and I can't wait to return. It's become one of my favourite places in this world and it's going to be very hard to beat.
