  • One double bed and one bunk bed.
  • The areas in front of the lodge have all got one of the best views that you can find in Mozambique.
  • The development at Barra Lake and Sea also offers the prospective buyer an opportunity to own a lodge within this secure and professionally administered holiday resort.
  • Description
  • Facilities
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.

What an awesome experience. The most magic couple who own/run this resort. Felt like we were with family - the kind that bends over backwards! We thought, after taking a day trip to check out the other resorts, that BARRA LAKE AND SEA had much more to offer than some of the "fancier" resorts. The view, the snorkelling, dhow trip and friendly attention! I have already recommended the venue.

We had a wonderful stay at Barra Lake and Sea!Nice view of the Lake! The hosts Abrie and Irma went the extra mile! Nice comfortable beds! Maybe you can add a microwave, fryingpan steakknives and Casserole for the "Braaivleis" to the kitchen! We enjoyed every minute and will visit yu again!

The dirt road getting there is rough, but not impossible for a 2X4. The rooms at the lodge are very clean and spacious. It also has a big kitchen and the whole lodge is well stocked with cutlery and linen and all you need is your own towel. The staff, especially Abrie, are very friendly and helpful and if you need anything all you have to do is ask. The snorkelling on the reef was fantastic and the boat trip to the island unforgetable. The view is fantastic over the lake and they have a very unique little bar and restaurant with a swimming pool that you have to experience. There are paddle ski's available free of charge and rowing on the lake is an amazing experience. And as far as I know they are also the only place that supplies you with a free pizza on arrival and breakfast the next morning. If you really need to kick back, unwind and relax this is the place.

Lovely house, well equipped! We had everything we needed and more. Locals sell their fish to you right at your front door. Bought tiger prawns at Tofo. Awesome!

What a nice, quiet break away from city life situated next to the lake. It was a wonderful experience not to be missed, especially the dhow trip to Porcos Island and the interaction with the locals there. The snorkelling at the reef with the sea horses and sea stars were great as well as the trip to Pansy Island. For sure a vacation not to be missed! Abrie and Irma are two amazing people who looked after our needs! The dogs, Pumba and Jack, also made deep paw prints in our hearts!
