Relaxed atmosphere.

Barra Lodge is set in one of the most picturesque areas in Mozambique, with spectacular views of pristine beaches and the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean.
Access by road is a pleasant drive from Zimbabwe by tarred road which is suitable for the passage of a normal vehicle. The drive from Maputo is hell on earth as the road must have at least 200 pot holes per km! However, the last 7km's leading to the lodge is a dirt road.
The largely unexplored reefs within close proximity to the lodge offers endless pleasure for scuba-diving and snorkeling.

Barra has secluded, unspoilt beaches, bordered by the Inhambane estuary on one side and the sea on the other. The lodge is nestled among groves of coconut trees.

Vilcanculos Beach Lodge serves well as a gateway to Bazaruto Island which is directly opposite.
My first stay in the lodge was while I was ill with Malaria and I will never forget the great care the staff and management took while I was staying there waiting for a flight out to South Africa.
The lodge is situated beautiful just along the beach, using wood and reed. Rooms are spacious and food is great!

The lodge has all facilities, pool, restaurant and also arranges outings to the near by islands.

Julian's Place

There is not much here in the way of facilities, however, the ambiance makes up for it and much much more. There are two bungalows here right on the dunes of the beach looking out towards the Bazaruto Islands. It is really rustic but increadible beautiful. There is also plenty of space to camp.

My travelling mates and I made fires every night and enjoy food from the local markets. What a peaceful place to relax for a few days in Vilanculos.

simple bathrooms
fresh water
great ocean views
relaxing and laidback
market nearby
Bazaruto Island trips can be arranged with locals
