Staying at Makokola Retreat

Makokola Retreat offers a variety of rooms and suites to suite the needs of every guest.

Tastefully furnished and decorated rooms and villas combine to form this Malawi accommodation. The hand-built villas are made with locally sourced wooden beams and adorned with traditional arts and crafts. Set in seclusion, each private villa and room has easy access to the nearby beach.

Sunset Villa

This beautifully designed 2-level villa offers the perfect balance of space, style, and tranquillity. The upper level features a spacious bedroom with a king-size bed, walk-in closet, and a luxurious bathroom with a large shower, double vanities, and a deep soaking tub. From the private balcony, guests can take in sweeping lake views while relaxing in one of the floating egg chairs — the ideal spot for morning coffee or a quiet sunset.

On the lower level, a generous living area opens onto an outdoor deck with a private infinity pool that wraps gracefully around the villa. Modern comforts include a flat-screen TV, in-room bar, electronic safe, ceiling fan, and air conditioning, ensuring that every moment of your stay is both indulgent and effortless.

Lake Suites

This serene, adults-only section of the property is designed as the ultimate couples’ retreat. Guests enjoy exclusive access to the Lake Suite infinity pool and the El Chiringuito Bar, a relaxed lakeside spot where drinks can be charged directly to your room.

Each elegant suite features a double bed, en-suite bathroom, and a private terrace or balcony with breathtaking views over Lake Malawi. Upper suites offer showers only, while lower suites include both a bath and shower. One room features twin beds and connects to Sunset Villa, offering flexibility for families or friends travelling together.

Modern comforts such as air conditioning, ceiling fans, a mini-fridge, electronic safe, and flat-screen TV ensure a seamless stay. The hotel gym is conveniently located nearby and open to all guests, completing the balance of relaxation and wellness.

All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, ceiling fans, a flat-screen TV, mini-fridge, and electronic safe for added convenience. Guests can choose between Superior Beach Family Rooms and Superior Beach Rooms.
