Visiting Likoma is like traveling back in time. The larger of two islands in Lake Malawi Mozambique, this island was colonized by Anglican missionaries in the 19th century, who left a cathedral in the style of Westminster Abbey as a token of remembrance. Until recently, the island was only reachable by a steamboat from the 1920s. Today, there’s only one dirt road and two vehicles on the entire island. Kaya Mawa means “maybe tomorrow” in the language of the Chewa; promising, when one considers our hectic, overly-planned lifestyles. The lodges that make up this resort hug a crescent-shaped beach in the Southwest of the island. Each are hand constructed from materials like teak, stone, and reed, granting the spaces a rustic, authentic appeal.
