Malawi

Just North of Mangochi, on the palm fringed southern shore of Lake Malawi; an extraordinary lakeside paradise resort - Club Makokola - awaits you. Club Makokola is spaciously laid out in well-tended gardens, but it is the beach that will draw your attention. The lodge has its own vast expanse of pale sand, dotted with low palms and thatched sunshades, under which lie sun loungers with padded cushions. A waiter will take your drinks order and deliver it to you on the beach.

It is perfect for such water sports as sailing and windsurfing. While diving and snorkelling are done at a stunning little offshore island, where tropical fish abound beneath the surface and fish eagles are ever present above it. The lodge has an enormous swimming pool 44 metres (143 foot) long and 16 metres (52 feet) wide. You can get some serious exercise in this pool! Paddle up to the pool bar for some cool cocktails and ice cold beer.

Rooms

The resort has 56 rooms set amongst beautifully landscaped gardens. The rondavel suites facing the beach have a lounge and large double bedroom with African ethnic interiors and four poster beds swathed in mosquito nets. Bathrooms are roomy with a shower and bath. There is a honeymoon suite which has its own discreet plunge pool. Family rooms are in a new double-story wing
