Barra Lake and Sea

 
 

Description

Barra Lake and Sea Resort is situated on the banks of the lagoon, with a perfect view of the lagoon in front of you and the sea on your right-hand side. Although the resort is not located directly on the beach, guests will experience so much more for 80% of the time and can still drive or paddle around to the beach for the remaining 20% of their time.

Enjoy endless times in the open-air restaurant and bar, indulging in seafood, pizzas, cocktails, and best sunset views. Snorkelling the reef the quiet waters gives a very safe and clear opportunity for the inexperienced snorkeller, while the Star Fish walking trail allows guests to view the fascinating marine life with an experienced guide and use the opportunity to pick up pansy shells. Day trips to Porcos Island and Pansy Island on a traditional dhow are also available. They have been sailing the East African coast for centuries and in Mozambique, they are still hand-crafted like the first Arabic boats that came to this coast.

We offer a relaxing atmosphere and a paradise for nature-lovers who want to share in all the excitement that the area offers, and want to relax with perfect views and surroundings back at the resort. Accommodation is offered in self-catering chalets, above the normal standards for the area, and well-built with tiled floors and glass showers.

The roads leading to Inhambane are of a high standard, except for a 30 km piece after Xai-Xai where they are busy rebuilding. The last 3 km to the resort is still a sand road and you would need assistance when you first drive this road with a normal sedan.

Check-In  01:00 PM   Check-Out 10:00 AM

Outstanding Views: Barra Lake and Sea is situated at the end of a sand dune peninsula sandwiched between the Indian Ocean and a huge tidal basin. Views change throughout the day as the tide goes in and out .

Great
Michael Smulian, South Africa
11 January 2012
I had a great experience at Barra Lake and Sea. The staff were friendly. The dogs were friendly, especially Pumba. The rate included the use of the kayaks and snorkeling in the reef. It was all a pleasant experience and I will certainly be back. It definitely contributed to making my holiday the best thus far - truly unforgettable. Thanks to Ambri, his wife and company.
Fun in the sun

After our recent stay at Barra Lake and Sea, I can honestly say that I will go back there whenever the opportunity arises. This is great accommodation with friendly staff, and the greatest view in Mozambique. The tranquil atmosphere makes Barra Lake and Sea one of the better lodges in Mozambique. Thank you Irma and Abrie, we had a great time!
Amazing holiday

Absolutely wonderful! Abri and his staff are great hosts and did everything in their power to make us comfortable and relaxed. We will definitely visit again and again. For a true Mozambique experience, I would advise anyone to visit Barra Lake and Sea.
