Kaya Mawa

Kaya Mawa sits among the rocks and sandy beaches of Likoma Island in Lake Malawi. Its individually designed rooms and houses suit couples and families, with lake-facing outdoor spaces and private pools in selected accommodation. Days revolve around the water: snorkelling, kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing are included, alongside birding and a tour of the community garden. The beachfront lounge offers a place to unwind, while the spa sits on a rocky outcrop linked to the beach by a boardwalk. Local craftsmanship shapes the interiors, including pieces made by Katundu artisans from upcycled materials.
