Your go-to spot for relaxation, refreshment, and incredible views right in the heart of Cape Maclear. Known for its welcoming vibe and prime beachfront location, Fat Monkeys Bar has become a favorite for both locals and travelers seeking a memorable experience along the shores of Africa's iconic Lake Malawi, also known as the “Lake of Stars.”
Our bar offers an extensive selection to satisfy every taste. From locally crafted beers to an assortment of fine wines and premium spirits, our drink menu has something for everyone. If you're after something lighter, we also serve a variety of soft drinks, refreshing mineral water, and a selection of snacks for those peckish moments.
Imagine sitting back in comfort, a cold drink in hand, as you gaze out over the serene, sparkling waters of Lake Malawi. The soft breeze, unique to this warm and vibrant part of Africa, carries with it the peaceful sounds of nature mingled with the occasional laughter and joy of beachgoers. This lake, with its crystal-clear waters, offers an unforgettable backdrop, creating an atmosphere that’s both tranquil and full of life.
Whether you’re winding down from a day of adventure or simply here to take in the views, Fat Monkeys Bar makes the experience even better. Situated right on the beach, we provide a front-row seat to all the activities the lake has to offer—from traditional fishing boats gliding across the water to sunbathers enjoying the sandy shores. And, with DStv available, you won’t miss out on any of your favorite shows, sports events, or news, allowing you to stay connected while you relax.
