Ulisa Bay Lodge
WELCOME TO LIKOMA ISLAND
Ulisa Bay Lodge and Pottery is a sanctuary for the explorers of the world. The lodge itself is a collection of chalets set around Ulisa Bay, all with stunning views over the lake and arguably one of the best sunsets in Africa. The Pottery has unique pottery made at Ulisa.
The lodge is run by Chris and Eunice and their friendly staff who will greet you with a warm welcome and look after you throughout your stay. They will be able to recommend some incredible things to do while you are on the island including making your own pottery or decorating pots already made.

We are extremely proud to grow a huge variety of our own fruit and vegetables in a walled (goat-proof!) permaculture garden. Everything we grow is used in our kitchen and lovingly prepared into a unique range of dishes served at our restaurant.

FOOD & DRINK
The Bar and Restaurant at Ulisa Bay occupy a remarkable spot atop a rocky outcrop with a deck looking out over the bay and Lake Malawi, a perfect spot for sundowners.
The bar attracts an amazing local crowd from Ulisa Village and around Likoma Island, especially at the weekends. It's the perfect place to get to know the Likoma islanders in a very relaxed atmosphere. It's a place where locals and travellers meet to swap stories and make lifelong friendships.
The restaurant uses mostly local produce either grown ourselves in the walled garden or traded with fisherman and local islanders. Tasty food can be ordered for breakfast, lunch and dinner and the menu is ever evolving. The focus is on using the freshest local ingredients to create simple yet delicious dishes.
