Ravi organised an amazing retreat for my family and myself, for that I can only say it’s right that we give all our appreciation and thanks to him.
From the great service provided by all the staff especially Aubrey to all the amazing facilities, there was no lack of excitement though out our time at Makakola. We had a lovely candle lit dinner on the beach for our last night that was organised by the friendly and helpful staff. It was an excellent farewell.
The rooms were lovely and very comfortable, with maids that made the bed and set up mosquito nets every night.
Overall id definitely come back in the future and would say if you’re in Malawi make sure you come and visit the Makokola retreat.

We went to Makokola for a 3-day business trip with our team and enjoyed every second of our stay. The great views, relaxing and calming atmosphere as well as the extraordinary hospitality of the staff made us feel very welcome. There are different pools, beach access, lots of different areas to hang out. The rooms are great, so is the food. Would highly recommend if you want a relaxing place to stay!

Wonderful location. Comfortable accommodation set inside beautiful landscaped gardens. Good food and excellent service compliments the experience and majestic scenery. Highly recommended to those seeking a tranquil location to retreat to after raking in the sights of the lake and surrounds

The best getaway! This is our favorite spot in Malawi to unwind and soak in some sun. The rooms are clean, the food is great, the staff is warm and the ambience is so relaxing. We can't wait to be back again soon.
