KAYA MAWA

Rated by Condé Nast magazine as one of the planet’s 10 most romantic destinations, Kaya Mawa is located on the south western tip of Likoma Island in the East-Central part of Lake Malawi, close to Mozambique. The island is covered with Mango trees and ancient Baobabs and encircled by glorious sandy beaches and rocky coves.

Accommodation

Eight Stone antique framed thatched cottages have a panoramic view of the lake and private terraces with direct access to the water. Each one has en-suite bathroom facilities, a four poster bed, shower and sunken stone bath tub. There is a honeymoon chalet with incredible views tucked away on it’s own private island. Kaya Mawa (meaning “Maybe tomorrow” in the local Tonga dialect) uses the stunning natural surroundings of beach, rock, island and lake to create a lodge of unique character, imagination and very special ambience.

Activities include walking, biking around the island, swimming, snorkelling, diving, watersports, waterskiing and fishing. Guests can visit the cathedral and market in the harbour village or sail to the Mozambican beaches nearby.
