Lake Malawi

Kaya Mawa, Likoma Island, Lake Malawi

Situated on the south-western tip of Likoma Island on Lake Malawi, at the head of a crescent-shaped bay surrounded by mango trees and ancient baobabs, Kaya Mawa is a haven of seclusion. The lodge, just a 45-minute walk from the main village with its famous cathedral, has a unique character and special ambience.

Ten individual timber and stone thatched chalets sit on a promontory at the water’s edge, each with a magnificent granite bathtub and a private terrace providing breathtaking views over the lake. Whilst relaxing on the lodge’s white sand beach may be the prime activity, the lake is also a paradise for water sports including sailing and scuba diving. Day trips to Mozambique can also be arranged.
