Kaya Mawa Lodge is situated on the south-western tip of Likoma Island at the head of a crescent-shaped bay, surrounded by mango trees and ancient baobabs. The lodge uses the natural surroundings of beach, rock, island and lake to create a lodge of unique character, imagination and very special feel.
With no machinery available on the island, Kaya Mawa Lodge was built entirely by hand, in partnership with the local community. It consists of ten stone and teak-framed thatched cottages set into a granite headland. Each cottage faces the lake and has a mahogany four-poster bed, a shower, a sunken stone bathtub and a loo with a view. All the cottages have private terraces with direct access to the water, and some can only be reached by walkways built over the lake.
Activities here include sailing, diving, snorkelling, windsurfing, water skiing, wakeboarding and fishing. On land guests can explore the island on foot, go mountain biking or quad biking led by a guide.
