A barefoot family island escape on Lake Malawi, where crystal-clear waters and laid-back luxury await.
Pure Likoma
Pure Likoma is a beautifully designed boutique retreat on the shores of Lake Malawi, offering the perfect finale to a family-friendly safari in Malawi.
Located on the peaceful Likoma Island, this intimate lodge combines barefoot luxury with warm Malawian hospitality, making it an ideal destination for families looking to unwind after the excitement of the bush.
With just a handful of stylish beachfront rooms and villas, Pure Likoma provides a relaxed, exclusive atmosphere where children have the freedom to explore and parents can truly switch off.
Days are spent discovering the crystal-clear waters of Lake Malawi, one of Africa’s most beautiful freshwater lakes.
Families can enjoy snorkelling with colourful cichlid fish, kayaking, paddleboarding and gentle boat trips to secluded beaches and hidden coves, while guided island walks reveal the rich history, local villages and the magnificent St Peter’s Cathedral.
The calm, warm waters make it a wonderful choice for a family beach holiday in Malawi, offering safe swimming and endless opportunities for outdoor adventure.
Back at the lodge, fresh seasonal cuisine, an infinity pool overlooking the lake and attentive, personalised service create a wonderfully relaxed pace of life.
For families seeking a luxury safari and beach holiday in Africa, Pure Likoma offers the perfect combination of adventure, culture and barefoot relaxation in one unforgettable destination.
