Blue Waters by Serendib ★★★★

📍 P.O.Box 373, Mafco Street, Senga Bay, Salima

""Great resort with beautiful views of Lake Malawi. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-sized. We enjoyed the outdoor swimming pool, which is clean and refreshing. The only minor downside was that service at the restaurant can be a bit slow, but the experience was fantastic."

"It is a lovely peaceful getaway. The property is huge with forest trails, a long beach, and the biggest pool I’ve seen on Lake Malawi. Staff were warm and helpful, and our room was clean and spacious. Food was good when we asked for custom meals. Perfect for families and budget travelers who want lake + nature. Will definitely go back."

Sunbird Waterfront
8.9 (42 reviews)

Sunbird Waterfront ★★★★

📍 Senga Bay, Senga, Salima

"I went to Sunbird Waterfront for the first time not knowing what to expect as a very discerning traveller. I was pleasantly surprised by the relaxing sound of the waves crashing to shore, The bartender was able to make me a vesper, like no other in Malawi most of whom could not even make it. Go here to digitally detox and lounge around letting the sound of the waves relax you. A great book, a cigar and a great bottle of wine."

Safari Beach Lodge ★★★
"Overpriced tourist lodge ,and need of maintenance. Mattresses are a disaster. Power was off most of the time although generator on site.The toilets in the room we stayed in had no seat, the shower was scary . The pool is a nice touch that almost makes up for the fact that the beach access is garbage here. Better you go to sunbird Livingstonia .The surroundings at the lodge were beautiful, but again all the furniture was falling apart and just looked very tired. We will be staying somewhere else the next time we go to Senga Bay."

Sunbird Waterfront ★★★★
"We had an amazing, beautiful stay. From the moment we got there, all staff were very welcoming ( Bertha at the reception was such a joy), everyone was polite, always smiling, made sure everything was okay from the room, food etc. You can tell and see that every department works very hard and together they just give the best service overall. Beautiful room with a beautiful view of lake malawi. Giving one of the best views of the sunrise too. The cleanliness was 10/10 everywhere. The food was very nice and freshly made. Will be visiting again in the future without a doubt."

Lakeside Hotel ★★★
"I have never written a review like this, but people need to be warned. We booked this hotel largely because of the pool and lakeside location. When we arrived, not only was the pool unusable, but there was no wifi, our room had no air conditioning, there was little to no protection from the insane amount of bugs invading our room, and the shower didn't drain. The rooms are not even close to being worth the price they charge and were clearly neglected after many years of little maintenance. We reported everything immediately. The next morning, the manager responded with excuses and even tried to shift the blame onto us. After a heated argument, they reluctantly agreed to refund our second night so we could leave. However, they claimed to not have any cash and the only option was to wait until Monday morning. We didn't have enough cash to pay for an alternative on Saturday evening, so we had to head back to Lilongwe. The weekend was ruined. The owners live in Lilongwe and clearly don't care enough to invest ANY money back into the hotel. Absolutely zero maintenance or customer service training. The best thing about this hotel is the incredible photographer who took the pictures you can see on Google Maps! By the way, those pictures are like 10 years old. Very misleading. Avoid this place. There are far better options."
