Malawi

Likoma Island

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 Chichewaa, the ethos of Kaya Mawa is in its name. Voted by Conde Nast as one of the top most romantic places in the world! Relaxed lakeside living is woven into its Houses and Rooms’ style, luxury, and comfort. Dinner by starlight, massage therapy at our spa, and snorkeling in turquoise waters – it’s just another blissful day at Kaya.
