Kaya Mawa has been rated by Condé Nast Magazine as one of the planet's ten most romantic destinations, it is located on Likoma Island in the north-east of Lake Malawi. The waters are crystal clear throughout the year and the diving and snorkeling is among the best in Lake Malawi


Kaya Mawa Lodge is surrounded by mango trees and baobabs. The name means “Maybe tomorrow” in the local dialect and this is certainly appropriate becuase arriving here is as good as forgetting about all your worries and totally relaxing. There is no machinery on Likoma island and Kaya Mawa Lodge was built by hand with help from the local community.

Ten stone and teak-framed thatched cottages have a panoramic view of the lake and private terraces with direct access to the water. Each one has en-suite bathroom facilities, a four-poster bed, shower, and a sunken stone bathtub. The honeymoon chalet with its incredible views is tucked away on its own private island.
