Overview

Che Shale is often described as castaway-chic, secluded and stylish.

Unlike most properties on the Kenya coast, we are a small beach hotel, built with natural materials and tucked away in lush vegetation. Our location is very secluded and we are the only property situated on a beautiful bay that stretches 5 kilometers.

Che Shale’s style is very unique. Our bandas and restaurant are built with renewable local materials such as Casaruina trees, palm trees, doum palms, coconut fiber, mango wood and other local woods. You will not find any plastic or any signs of a modern complicated life at Che Shale. Furniture, fittings and accessories have been carefully crafted and designed to give our natural setting a slightly contemporary feel.

Che Shale attracts people in search of a quiet, natural and stylish setting for their holiday. This is the kind of place that invites to perfect the art of lounging and relaxing. We are also known for being the first and best kitesurf spot in East Africa. Our kitesurf spot is well-known and kitesurfers from around the word come to enjoy top conditions, uncrowded water and good company.

Location

Africa : Kenya


Che Shale is located on the Kenyan coast, we are right on the beach and we are the only hotel located on our beautiful 5 km bay.

We are a two-hour drive from Mombasa and a twenty-minute drive from Malindi. You no longer need a 4x4 vehicle to get to Che Shale as the road has been laid out with coconut husks.

If you fly into Mombasa, we are a 2.5-hour drive and if you fly into Malindi, we are 30 minutes away.

Dining

Che Shale Restaurant is known on the Kenya coast for his fresh seafood, grilled meats, home made pasta dishes, tropical fruit platters, fresh-baked bread in safari style tin trunk, and other home-made specialties like seaweed in batter (picked up fresh from our beach), and spicy chilli jam.

You will find some of the following dishes on our menu this season: Zanzibar style calamari, grilled mixed seafood platter, crab and coconut soup, grilled lobsters, fresh catch of the day ceviche, various meat and seafood stir-fries, penne crab, spaghetti vongole, greek salad, passion fruit cream, coconut pudding, and many many more.

Our hotel guests staying full board order from our a-la-carte menu for lunch and from a 3-course set menu, which changes daily for dinner. Breakfast includes a selection of fruits, toasts, eggs, bacon, yogurt, cereals and pancakes.

We are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and serve food throughout the day. We also offer a light snack menu with a selection of sandwiches for quick afternoon bites. Groups are welcome and advised to make an early reservation by calling us at 0722 230 931.
