Each accommodation at Kaya Mawa is unique, some featuring private plunge pools, while others have direct access to the beach or secluded decks perfect for sunset views. Locally crafted furnishings and décor further enhance the charm, incorporating the the surrounding community. The lodge’s restaurant serves a blend of fresh, locally sourced ingredients, with both Malawian flavours and international cuisine.
Guests can enjoy snorkelling, kayaking, scuba diving, or paddleboarding, all making the most of the setting on Lake Malawi.
