Barra Lodge is set in the one of the most picturesque areas of Mozambique, with spectacular views of pristine beaches and crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean. The lodge is nestled among groves of coconut trees, all rooms have exquisite beach and seaviews.
Barra has secluded, unspoilt beaches, and is bordered by the Inhambane estuary on one side and the sea on the other. The lodge is nestled amongst groves of coconut trees and the warm Indian Ocean offers safe bathing all year round. Wide open, sun-drenched beaches offer endless hours of strolling pleasure.
The lodge offers a swimming pool as well as a children’s paddling pool but the real reason to stay at this lodge is for the amazing diving it has to offer. With a fully equipped PADI dive centre there is no better place to go and see the Indian Ocean full of Whale Sharks and Mantas…. A diver’s haven!
