Chale Island is a tropical haven located on the pristine Msambweni Bay just off Kenya’s southeastern coast. Discover a breathtakingly idyllic retreat accessible only by speedboat or a tractor-trailer depending on the tide. The picturesque island is dotted with inland tidal lakes and mangrove forests, including a kaya (sacred grove) of the Mijikenda peoples. Gorgeous white sand beaches and dramatic rocky shores make up the island’s periphery. Chale Island is fringed by vibrant coral reefs abundant with myriad marine life. Occasionally, sea turtles inhabit the island to lay eggs.
