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
7.6 (12 reviews)

Safari Beach Lodge ★★★

📍 Senga Bay Forest Reserve, Senga Bay Near to the Sunbird Livingstonia Beach Hotel At the end of the S122, Salima

"The lake is very full at the moment so there is no beach and the area next to the lake is dirty, but that is not their fault. Better to check lake levels before booking this place else you will have no beach. Nice location next to the lake, set a bit above the lake. Lovely, well-kept gardens. Chalets are comfortable if you don't mind climbing down steep stairs to the upstairs room. Very nice bar and the view from the bar at sunset is is wonderful. Breakfast was very good. There were no internet on the first day, following morning only intermittent internet at reception. The cellphone signal is also very bad."

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."

Sunbird Livingstonia Beach ★★
"This is a lovely hotel. I was fortunate to stay in one of the chalet rooms for two weeks whilst on business. The room was so comfortable and the facilities are very good. I loved the pool and my room was right on the small beach which was quiet. The service is exemplary, right from check in, the pool staff, waiters, gardeners etc etc as the hotel has a high staff to guest ratio. I couldn't fault the service, they even delivered food one evening whilst I sat on the beach. I wouldn't hesitate to return if I can."

Safari Beach Lodge ★★★
"10/10. This is exactly what I look for in a nature lodge. Not 5 star but imperfectly perfect. The grounds are lush, there’s steps meandering down to the lake, the pool is surrounded by greenery and there are rooms for just about everybody. I was in Chalet 6 on a series of boulders on a cliff above the lake. A dozen baboons played in the tree in front of my deck all morning. Then they would commute across my deck to a tree behind my hut. You could not leave your room door open unattended, even for a minute! There was electricity, but only a lone ceiling fan in the loft bedroom up a steep set of stairs. And it was hot. The bathroom was rustic, outside with no door and I used it often to cool down in the shower when I was too lazy to walk to the pool. They offered to move me to a hotel room with air conditioning, wi fi and a TV, but no lake view, and I passed. The staff was universally friendly and the food great, especially the Chambo fish from the lake. They really could use more than one tiny ice cube tray though."

Kambiri Beach Resort ★★★
"Wonderful Stay at Kambiri Beach by Serendib I had the pleasure of staying at Kambiri Beach by Serendib last month, and it was truly a wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the beautiful surroundings, peaceful atmosphere, and warm hospitality. The location is fantastic, with a lovely lake setting and a relaxing atmosphere that makes it an ideal place to unwind. The rooms were comfortable and well maintained, and the food was delicious. What really made my stay special was the friendly and attentive service from the staff. Everyone was welcoming, helpful, and genuinely committed to making my stay enjoyable. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Kambiri Beach by Serendib and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable beach getaway. I look forward to visiting again!"
