THE NOBU VIEW

The stay

Chale Island Resort offers an offshore coastal retreat with verandas, bandas and distinctive suites above the water or on a separate rocky islet. Spa visits and water activities complement beach time.

Chale Island Resort brings a different geography to a Kenya beach stay. The hotel occupies an offshore island, with coastal forest, mangroves and Indian Ocean water shaping the setting. It suits travellers who want the final days of a safari to feel removed from the mainland, with time divided between a veranda, the beach and arranged activities on the water.

Ocean View Bandas offer private verandas, while Standard Rooms and elevated Tower Suites provide different views across the island. The Overwater Suite sits above the channel. For a more individual stay, the Suite on the Rock occupies a small islet connected to the main island by a stone bridge. Each category is currently listed for two adults.

Dining and bar options are spread around the resort, including Mkoko Bar for the evening.

For Nobu, the strongest fit is a couple or adult pair seeking an island setting after time inland.
