Along the southern lakeshore, at the base of a hill near the friendly and tiny fishing village of Nkopola, lies one of the best lakeside resorts in Malawi, Sunbird Nkopola Lodge. With abundant tropical vegetation on one side and the sparkling waters of Lake Malawi on the other, guests enjoy supreme comfort amidst exquisite surroundings.

All 55 rooms have air-conditioning and digital satellite television. But the best place to spend your days at Sunbird Nkopola is on the beach, or in the lake itself. The lodge is well-stocked with gear for the watersport of your choice, be it scuba diving, waterskiing, windsurfing, snorkelling, or canoeing. Naturalists and birders will want to be sure and explore the nature trail near the Lodge, or take a boat ride out to nearby Bird Island.

The barbeque at the Sunbird Nkopola Beach Club’s terrace restaurant is magic, as is the view. When the last colours of the sunset have faded, look up and you will see why they call Lake Malawi the Lake of Stars.
