"Excellent stay. We were very comfortable the entire time. The pool is fabulous and it lights up at night. The rooms are comfortable and have AC and fans. The restaurant has a great menu and excellent quality food. The service is great. You can walk here from the airport (maybe 7 minutes). They arranged all our tours for us, and at good prices. We would definitely stay here again!"

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Chole Island is best to stay in for luxury hotels?
The best area to stay on Chole Island for luxury hotels is the central part of the island, particularly around the main village.

This area is where you'll find most of the island's high-end accommodations, which are often eco-lodges or boutique hotels discreetly integrated into the natural environment. These properties are typically situated amongst the lush greenery and offer stunning views of the bay and the surrounding islands. They often feature private villas or bandas, open-air dining, and direct access to the water for activities.

Couples looking for a romantic and secluded escape will find this central area ideal. The hotels here are designed to offer a tranquil experience, with personalised service and opportunities for private excursions like dhow safaris or snorkelling trips. The focus is on relaxation and enjoying the natural beauty of the island in comfort.
How much does a luxury hotel in Chole Island cost?
Luxury hotel prices in Chole Island vary, but you can find a great deal from £46 on Expedia. To find the best prices on luxury stays, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
What luxury activities and experiences are there in Chole Island?
The best way to experience luxury on Chole Island is through bespoke, nature-focused activities that highlight the island's unique ecosystem and heritage.

For those seeking a private and exclusive experience, consider a dedicated dhow safari. You can charter a traditional wooden sailing boat for a day or even overnight, exploring the surrounding islands of the Mafia Archipelago, snorkelling in pristine coral gardens, or simply relaxing on deck as you watch the sunset. This offers a personalised adventure away from larger groups.

Couples looking for a romantic and secluded experience will appreciate private dining options. Many high-end accommodations can arrange a special meal on a secluded beach, under the stars, or on a private sandbank, complete with fresh local seafood and attentive service. It's an intimate way to enjoy the island's natural beauty.

For solo travellers or couples interested in the island's history and conservation, a private guided tour of the Chole Island ruins and the flying fox sanctuary is highly recommended. A knowledgeable guide can provide in-depth insights into the island's past and its unique wildlife, offering a more personal and educational experience than a group tour.

Can I cancel my luxury hotel reservation on Expedia?

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right luxury hotel in Chole Island for you.
