About Travessia Beach Lodge

Exclusive eco-luxury with exceptional hospitality in remote Mozambique.

Travessia Beach Lodge occupies prime Mozambique real estate, an hour and a half's drive north of Inhambane in southern Mozambique. Built into the dunes at the end of a winding, sandy path, and nestled into a row of storybook palm trees, the lodge is a lesson in sustainability. There's not a concrete floor or metal pole in sight - just thatched roofs, wooden floorboards and a good dollop of chilled-out beach vibes. This is the sort of place to get sand between your toes, to feel the wind in your hair, and to enjoy every second of the stunning surroundings and ocean views. Now, that's what we call a holiday.

Property details

The property

The main area is connected to the rest of the camp by a series of raised wooden walkways. Canvas sides roll up, making for uninterrupted views of the ocean in front, and the palm forest behind. Colourfully painted chairs sit around wooden tables, and the adjoining open-plan lounge has several wicker chairs and slouchy sofas, ideal for view-gazing. Fifty metres back from the beach, a stunning rim-flow pool is accompanied by an open-sided bar, complete with locally-made hammocks and sun-loungers.

The rooms

There are four well-spaced casas that sleep a total of 12 guests. One can accommodate a family of five, one is a triple and the other two, doubles. Canvas sides, wooden floors and thatched roofs are uncomplicated but stylish, and inside, the decor is pure beach-chic. King, queen or twin beds are draped with mosquito nets and each has an ensuite bathroom, with separate toilet and outdoor shower, a wooden deck with swaying hammocks and 180 degree views of the bluer-than-blue ocean.

Activities

Diving off Mozambique's coast is some of the best in the world, with pristine coral reefs teeming with life and ocean giants like whale sharks and mantas in attendance. Travessia can organise your diving trip or an ocean safari with one of the experienced operators in Inhambane (about an hour and a half away). The lodge also has an inflatable kayak and a canoe for use at low tide (when the waves are a bit calmer) and a few body boards to surf the beach break. Alternatively, grab a fat-tyred beach cruiser and go for a bike ride along the beach, or just chill by the pool and gaze out at the Indian Ocean.

Why we love it

The miles and miles (and miles!) of pristine white sand, stretching literally as far as the eye can see outside the lodge. And when it’s not sand, it’s glittering ocean.

Insiders Tip

Savour the locally caught fish, delivered daily by the neighbourhood fishermen, grilled on the fire or sliced into sushi. Mmmm...

Something to think about

Although there are water activities on offer, most of them require a drive down the coast and there’s not much on offer directly from the lodge itself (apart from a good dose of R&R).
