This resort is not at Nkhata Bay as stated but just North of Dwanga! We stopped off for 1 night on the way back to Blantyre from Tanzania. There are 2 separate areas of very nice and spacious A frame chalets. The main area of chalets look out onto gardens and the pool whereas the more expensive chalets have lake... More

We took my vacationing Mum & Dad to Ngala, not having stayed in the lodge before & we were all extremely happy with our stay. Everything was lovely, from the location to the rooms to the smiling staff to the amazing owners, Sandi & Chris... even the dogs & cat were friendly & welcoming. The beach was sandy & gorgeous,...

My husband and I spent a few weekends at Ngala during our year living in Malawi. It's such a special place to us. The setting is breathtaking. The decor of the lodge is stunning. Such attention to detail. Sandi and Chris made us feel so welcome. We just hope we can come back for a visit some day!!! More

spent 8 days at the lodge and really unwound. Grand children had a marvellous time - pool and service were excellent. Unfortunately, lake was muddy as both rivers north and south of Ngala were in spate. All said and done, a home from home ... More

We spent five fabulous days at Ngala Beach Lodge. The location is just perfect and the photos you see of the Lodge and it's surroundings are a true reflection of the location, grounds and accommodation. Sandi and Chris were just marvellous at making you welcome and the staff are so attentive - nothing is a problem. The food is home... More

We’ve stayed at several lodges in Malawi now and this was one of our favourites. We stayed in one of the Deluxe A Frame Chalets facing the beach, and had... More

Stayed at Ngala beach lodge in July with my parents, who are first time visitors to Africa. Chris and Sandi immediately made us part of their family - no lack of hospitality here! We were treated to a free upgrade to their delightful a-frame family room with very comfortable bed, spacious lounge area, a peaceful porch, and tasteful African decorations.... More

On arriving from Liliongwe we were warmly greeted by staff who efficiently checked us in to our beautiful beach front chalet surrounding by lush tropical foilage. Picture perfect - our a-frame thatched chalet matched that of rustic luxury in Zanzibar and Thailand, with accents of 'real' Africa in the decor and the romance of mosquito nets and king size beds...
