{"product_id":"chale-island-resort-diani-kenya","title":"Chale Island Resort","description":"\u003cp\u003eChale Island sits off Kenya's south coast, a short boat transfer from Diani Beach. The resort occupies indigenous forest behind a white sand bay, with a coral reef running along the bay's edge. A protected sacred forest covers part of the island.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFifty-three rooms spread across six categories. The Overwater Suite — described by the resort as the first of its kind in Kenya — sits above the water with views across Gazi Bay and the Shimba Hills. The Suite on the Rock occupies its own small islet, connected to the main island by a stone bridge; a circular thatched roof opens at the apex so that rainwater falls into a central garden, and a stairway leads up to a lounge above. Twenty-nine Ocean View Bandas and ten Tower Suites cover most guests, with twelve standard rooms completing the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dive centre, Diving the Crab, runs PADI courses from Bubblemaker for children through to advanced certifications. Certified divers can visit sites including the Alpha Funguo Wreck, a ship sunk deliberately to create an artificial reef. Snorkelling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, deep-sea fishing, and guided mangrove tours all run from the water sports centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe island is home to two troops of colobus monkeys and serves as a nesting site for green turtles. The Maisha Poa Spa sits beside the mangrove forest and includes a pool, a space for yoga, and a gym. Eight dining and bar options include a sushi bar, a teppanyaki grill, and the Mkoko Sunset Deck — a bar on stilts above the water on the island's western side, reached by a short wooden bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- plk-tmpl-cb 2026-07-31T09:41:53.119Z --\u003e","brand":"phasec-create","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43808540295227,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/20018_2F1736342133077_0002-Chale-Aerials-Sept-2024-DJI_0021-DNG_DxO_DeepPRIMEXD.jpg?v=1784350906","url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/products\/chale-island-resort-diani-kenya","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
