KAYA MAWA RESORT, LAKE MALAWI

REMOTE ISLAND GETAWAY

Surrounded by the deep, clear waters of Lake Malawi on the idyllic island of Likoma, you’ll find Kaya Mawa.

Shaded by mango and baobab trees, you can relax in one of the five houses or six rooms that have been built into boulders with teak-framed thatched roofs. Decorated with sustainable Swahili décor and run solely on renewable energy, Kaya Mawa is a remote and unique island paradise.

Whether you are looking for the perfect honeymoon or a little luxury at the end of your safari, Kaya Mawa offers a wonderfully personalised experience. You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of complimentary water activities such as snorkelling, sailing and kayaking, or you can simply laze on the beach if you prefer and enjoy a picnic freshly prepared by the lodge’s award-winning kitchen team. If you are interested in wildlife, Likoma Island is home to over 100 bird species, including the African fish eagle, and the lake itself to more species of fish than any other in the world.

“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”

Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough

“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”

The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!

“TRIP OF A LIFETIME ”

Jonny took the time to discuss all the options with us and tailored every detail to our wishes. He suggested thoughtful add-ons, arranged excellent guides, and created a brilliant itinerary packed with maps, tips, and all the information we needed for exploring the two countries we visited. An absolute trip of a lifetime to Argentina and Brazil.
