Overlooking the mountains of Mozambique, Kaya Mawa is an enchanting lake-side lodge set on a tiny island in Lake Malawi. This eco-friendly, sun-soaked paradise is miles off the beaten track; romantic and secluded, it is the perfect spot to relax and forget about the outside world.

Entirely hand-built in conjunction with the local community, Kaya Mawa is surrounded by immaculate beaches, the clear fresh waters of the lake, mango trees and ancient baobabs. Seven stone, teak and thatch cottages with enormous four poster beds, sunken stone tubs and private terraces with access to the water lie on a pretty headland.

The honeymoon cottage lays claim to its own island for ultimate privacy. Wonderful sunset views and the soothing sounds of the lake are the perfect backdrop for drinks in the bar next to a waterfall fed rock pool or the restaurant with its panoramic views.

For sun-worshippers, the lake and beaches beckon whilst water sports include fishing, snorkelling and scuba diving. With more than eight hundred species of tropical fish, turtles and otters, excellent birdlife and boat trips to Mozambique, as well as various uninhabited islands, there is as much or as little to do as one pleases.
