About nZuwa Lodge

Barefoot beach lodge and campsite on Mozambique’s north coast.
nZuwa Lodge is a delightfully laid-back resort on Mozambique’s beautiful northern coastline, about half an hour’s drive south of Pemba. It's a family-friendly lodge, with accommodation to suit all budgets and requirements, from campsites and a backpacker-style dormitory to comfortable mid-range rooms and self-catering units, and charming luxury beach bungalows at the top end of the scale. Designed in an eco-friendly way with locally sourced natural materials, it has an easy-going organic feel, with a firm focus on simply relaxing in this stunning setting and enjoying the wide range of (principally water-based) activities.

Property details

The property

The lodge sits upon the dune belt between pockets of coastal vegetation, peering out across the beach from beneath a shaggy makuti roof supported by chunky driftwood beams. The open-plan dining room and lounge has a lovely curved stone patio around the edge, with a relaxed beach bar and open fire pit to one side. Wi-fi is available in the main section. The campsite is a short stroll from here, with its own shower block and self-catering area.

The rooms

For those looking for a luxury option, there are three delightful beach bungalows with en-suite bathrooms, a cosy lounge, beautiful four-poster beds beneath mosquito nets, and a small private deck. Several smaller air-conditioned rooms with en-suite bathrooms have a more simple style, and the self-catering family units come with a small kitchen. The budget-friendly campsite has good facilities and offers excellent value for money in a beautiful shaded semi-wild garden close to the beach.

Activities

Watersports include kite-surfing, wakeboarding, kayaking and snorkelling. During low tide (when there's quite a walk to the water's edge), guided nature walks across the sandbars dotted with colourful rock pools are a hit, particularly with children. Younger guests also love the sandcastle-building sessions and beachcombing treasure hunts. Guided tours of Pemba town, scuba-diving trips and boat cruises to explore the truly lovely islands of the Quirimbas Archipelago, Ibo and Ilha de Mozambique can be arranged from the lodge.
