Kaya Mawa is situated on the south-western tip of Likoma, the larger of two islands in the northern region of Lake Malawi. The island is small and sparsely populated, inhabited only by the local fishing community. Kaya Mawa is set on a crescent shaped beach, surrounded by mango trees and ancient baobabs.

Accommodation & Facilities
Accommodation is in stone and thatched cottages with hand-handcrafted king size beds. Each room has a bath and shower with hot water from solar geezers. The lodge has eleven rooms in total in a number of categories, namely four standard rooms, two standard family chalets, three premium rooms (two pool suites, one island suite) one single room house and one two bedroom house. All have lake access most with decks over the lake, views to die for and four of them with their own private pools. At the end of the beach there is a beach bar, lounge and restaurant the perfect sun downer spot. Dinner is always under the stars and can be served wherever you like.

Wildlife & Activities
From Kaya Mawa you can make a visit to Mozambique, or take a trip by dhow boat or in a mokoro. The island is also home to St Peter’s Cathedral, constructed at the end of the nineteenth century it is the third largest Cathedral in Central Africa. If guests tire of relaxing on the beach, more energetic options including wind surfing, water skiing and diving can be arranged. Lake Malawi has some of the best fresh water diving to be found anywhere in the world. Walking and biking around Likoma Island is a great way to experience the local culture, perhaps engaging with the locals at the lively market nearby.
