"This paradisical island off the Kenyan coast boasts 15 acres of lush forests, a secluded white-sand beach (where turtles often lay eggs), coral reefs, and a scenic inland mangrove lake. On top of all that, the resort shares the island with many plant and animal species, creating the ultimate tropical island experience. Guests of The Sands At Chale Island can enjoy three swimming pools, a bar, a gym, a spa, and plenty of space for sunbathing and lounging with a cocktail in hand. The eco-friendly property features several accommodation categories, including standard rooms with balconies, overwater suites, and small villas. But the most noteworthy of them all is the Suite on the Rocks, a spacious thatched-roof structure located on its own private islet connected to the rest of the resort by a stone bridge. Nightly rates from $199, thesandsatchaleisland.com" - Travel + Leisure Editors
