Likoma is the main town on Likoma Island in Malawi. It is the administrative capital of Likoma District.

Perhaps the most famous attraction of Likoma is the Cathedral of Likoma built at the beginning of the 20th century. Considered a feat of engineering, materials for its construction were imported from many countries.

Visiting Likoma is possible either via the somewhat unreliable illala boat or visitors can take a plane from Lilongwe.
