Overview
What to expect
Hidden under the trees near Paje, Maalum Cave is a natural swimming pool inside a coral limestone grotto. Sunlight pours in through the open roof and turns the water a glowing turquoise.
Walk down the wooden stairs, swim and float in the cool, clear water, then relax in the lounge area above. It is an easy add-on to a Jozani Forest or south-coast beach day.
