Kaya Mawa

About

Built by local artisans and powered solely by renewable energy, Kaya Mawa combines sustainability with elegance. From its stone, teak and thatch construction to its support for local craft workshops and community projects, the lodge is deeply rooted in its environment. Its philosophy, echoed in its name, which means "maybe tomorrow", invites guests to slow down and immerse themselves in the rhythms of the lake.

Rooms

There are eleven distinct residences: a mix of standard chalets, premium rooms, family-houses, and the private four-bedroom Ndomo House. Each room or house is unique in style, many featuring private decks, plunge pools, courtyards or terraces. Interiors are decorated with local craft touches, and many units enjoy views directly onto the lake or beach, with convenient access to the water.

Dining

The lodge offers full-board dining, featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients, including lake fish and herbs grown on site. Meals are served in a relaxed, open-sided dining area near the beach or on decks to catch the breeze and views. Private dinners under the stars or on secluded terraces can be arranged. Service is warm and personalised.

Activity

Water-based activities include snorkelling, diving, kayaking, paddle-boarding, sailing and wakeboarding. On land there are walks around the island, mountain biking, quad bike tours, visits to the local cathedral and markets, spa treatments, and cultural workshops. The lodge also facilitates involvement in conservation and community projects, like tree planting, craft workshopsand educational outreach.
