Kenya’s beaches rank in the top twenty five Africa wide, and The Sands Resorts have carefully chosen two unique positions along this elegant ocean frontage. Both resort are set into lavishly spacious coastal forest, with a diverse mixture of indigenous and tropical flora that attracts a wide variety of fascinating insect and primate life. With the warm waters of the Indian Ocean lapping over iridescent coral gardens, home to laughing dolphins, lazy turtles and magnificent whale sharks, marine enthusiasts will be charmed year round. Fine white coral sand beaches bordered by gentle lawns with waving palm trees and the sparkling aquamarine sea make The Sands a beachcombers paradise. Great care has been taken, not only to preserve the natural environment, but also to give a truly Kenyan feel by using only natural Kenyan products within the resort. The resorts offer a contemporary mix of Swahili Structures, Lamu furniture, objects of African Art and high gloss varnished Woodwork, upholding our philosophy that “The buildings should be elegant but not luxurious, blending into the natural environment and reflecting the traditional architecture with a minimum four star standard”. The Sands at Nomad comprises a selection of 10 comfortable rooms with en suite facilities, 8 exclusive Beach Bandas, and 11 luxurious suits, many with private Jacuzzis, panoramic terraces and spacious sitting rooms. The Sands at Chale Island offers six categories of rooms and suits including Kenya’s first overwater suite, and the magical suite on the rocks which is built on its own Islet.
