Welcome To
Kaya Mawa
On the white sandy beaches of Likoma Island sits Kaya Mawa, a boutique lodge that welcomes honeymooners, families and friends for an indulgently carefree getaway.
Meaning ‘maybe tomorrow’ in Chichewa/Nyanja, the ethos of Kaya Mawa is in its name. Relaxed lakeside living is woven into the style, luxury and comfort of its Houses and Rooms. Dinner by starlight, massage therapy at our spa, and snorkelling in turquoise waters – it’s just another blissful day at Kaya.
Built by local hands and as Malawi’s first resort run solely on renewable-energy, Kaya Mawa is firmly grounded in sustainability, community empowerment and ethical trade.
Accommodation
Check Availability
While each of the 11 Houses and Rooms have distinctive flair, all are designed to fit naturally into the bay’s rocks and sand. The white-washed or exposed stone interiors open out to lake and beach views, with some suites enjoying a private deck and plunge pool or even terrace, courtyard and dining areas.

A Five Star
Robinson Crusoe
Experience
Our room was situated right on the beach, built in local materials, and had everything we needed... including a spectacular view! If you want get-away-from-it-all relaxation in an environment where everybody is pleased to have you there and with a service that reflects this, then Kaya Mawa is for you.

The most magical
holiday ever, with my
sister and our daughters
Kaya Mawa is honestly the most magical place in the world and the 10 days I spent there was probably the happiest time since my honeymoon. The work that they’re doing in the local community is incredibly inspiring. If you want somewhere that will give you a truly unforgettable holiday this is it! Thanks to my job I have stayed in some of the most luxurious properties around the world and I can honestly say that nowhere else has tugged at the heart strings like Kaya.
