The Makokola Retreat Welcome to the Makokola Retreat! (Takulandirani ndi manja awiri!)
It is a pleasure to welcome you to Dear valued Guest,

Welcome to the Makokola Retreat!

(Takulandirani ndi manja awiri!)
It is a pleasure for me to welcome you to our little piece of paradise. This three-generation, family owned business has been blessed by the nurturing love, care and commitment that can only be found in a family run business. I have been very fortunate to watch the tremendous growth of what was The Makokola Retreat, or “Club Mak” as it was affectionately called ove

r the years, into this magnificent Retreat, which is flourishing! It is an exciting time to work here, as plans are ever growing, progressive and inspirational. The Makokola Retreat offers you spacious lake villas and beach rooms, surrounded by lush gardens, along the Southern Lake Malawi shores. The tranquility sensed by the lake and the protective surrounding green vegetation gives rise to a sense of natural connectedness in the true essence of the name “Retreat.” The integration of local traditions and culture can be seen in the art, crafts and design of the Retreat, reflecting as well as defining its setting. We pride ourselves in delivering an ethical, natural, local experience to charm your stay. We strive to continuously further and refine our services, to create more mesmerizing, individualized experiences. Combined with our social and environmental dedications and enthusiasm to preserving local traditions, we wish to generate for you an authentically Malawian experience. We are dedicated to providing a memorable stay for you. As a family run hotel, we endeavor to provide high quality personal service of a bygone era to make you feel comfortable at your new, “home away from home”. Let us look after you and cater to your passions and preferences. Thank you very much for choosing the Makokola Retreat (Zikomo Kwambiri),
