REMOTE ISLAND GETAWAY
Surrounded by the deep, clear waters of Lake Malawi on the idyllic island of Likoma, you’ll find Kaya Mawa.
Shaded by mango and baobab trees, you can relax in one of the five houses or six rooms that have been built into boulders with teak-framed thatched roofs. Decorated with sustainable Swahili décor and run solely on renewable energy, Kaya Mawa is a remote and unique island paradise.
Whether you are looking for the perfect honeymoon or a little luxury at the end of your safari, Kaya Mawa offers a wonderfully personalised experience. You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of complimentary water activities such as snorkelling, sailing and kayaking, or you can simply laze on the beach if you prefer and enjoy a picnic freshly prepared by the lodge’s award-winning kitchen team. If you are interested in wildlife, Likoma Island is home to over 100 bird species, including the African fish eagle, and the lake itself to more species of fish than any other in the world.
