Consistently voted as one of the top ten romantic getaways, Kaya Mawa is Malawi’s very own castaway on the secluded Likoma Island exclave in Lake Malawi (Nyasa), surrounded by Mozambican territorial waters, this is the true definition of rustic and like the people here say ‘Turn your watch forward an hour & back 100 years’.

All twelve boutique-styled rooms have idealistic views over Africa’s third largest lake, sunsets here are what honeymooners come here for. The two luxury houses include private plunge pools with true panoramic vistas over the lake a certain David Livingstone reached 150 years ago.

Don’t let the beautiful surroundings fool you into thinking this is strictly honeymoon territory, watersports here are simply some of the best on the continent. Sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, doughnutting, kneeboarding, snorkelling, scuba-diving and fishing are possible here and for those who prefer dry land there’s opportunities in mountain biking, quad biking or simply taking a stroll around the island.

Likoma loves Eco-tourism, money spent here goes towards the projects that work within the community, helping tackle issues such as public health and sustainable economic growth. Already money has been used to build schools and literacy rates are consequently higher than the norm.

Make it unique, make it Malawi.
