The beach shack is the communal heart of Nkwichi where drinks are served throughout the day and guests can sit back and relax in the shade, looking out across the magnificent Lake Malawi.

A fire is lit by the shack in the evenings and dinner is often served there or nearby on the beach.  

There is also a mini lodge located near the beach, where meals can be served during the rainy season.

It’s a tradition at Nkwichi to get together and watch the sky turn purple as the sun sinks behind the lake. The fireside at the beach shack is a popular spot, but we like to take our bar to some of the most beautiful spots on the lake shore so you can sip your G’n’T with a different view each night, chatting with other guests and management.

Our guests love to come together at drinks and mealtimes but if you are in search of seclusion, we are happy to arrange private dining at a location of your choice – or suggest one you may not have thought of.
