Njaya Lodge

3.0 star property

8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (18)
"As previous reviews indicate, this is a wonderful setting, rivalling a Greek Island or even the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Beautiful view and accommodations. Very warm and friendly staff. Good food with many choices. Good hot water even with Solar. Would have liked internet access in the room and perhaps a little more attention to timely food delivery. We had a delightful stay!"

Learn more about Nkhata Bay

Dive into Lake Malawi's crystal waters to snorkel among colorful cichlid fish or join locals for sunset boat trips. Hike through lush forests to hidden waterfalls or browse handmade crafts at the vibrant weekend market near the harbor.

The 2016 Lake of Stars music festival was held at Chintheche Inn in Nkhata Bay on Lake Malawi. Every morning the sun rises above the lake, turning the sky pink and gold. Worth getting up at 5am for.
Even without an amazing festival, Nkhata Bay is worth a visit for its stunning scenery. The area is about a 4-hour drive north of Lilongwe and has several lodges on the shores of the lake.
