Voted in the top 10 most romantic places in the world by Conde Nast, Kaya Mawa is all hand built from local materials (rocks from the lake, wood from Mozambique’s forests) and staffed by people from the neighbouring three villages.

There are eleven rooms ranging from standard chalets, with their own private deck over the lake, to more luxurious houses with private plunge pools.

Kaya Mawa is ideally suited for all guests from honeymoon couples to families looking for interesting activities including: walks; sailing; waterskiing; quad bike tours; mountain biking; boat excursions; kayaking and a PADI scuba school all on site.
