BARRA LODGE
Holiday Resort Accommodation
in Barra, Inhambane,
Mozambique, Africa
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.
Situated 485km north of Maputo, access is via a tarred road which is suitable
for normal vehicles. The road from Maputo to Xai Xai has been upgraded and
resurfaced. North from Xai-Xai there is an old section of road, approx. 70km,
which is potholed. This section is being patched and will be completed in due
course. After the initial 70km section the road is new and upgraded making the
drive a lot easier.
Please note that there are numerous towns and villages en-route, and the main
road often passes directly through these villages. Speed limits are enforced in
these places and it is advised to drive with caution. Do not drive at night. The
drive from Maputo to Inhambane can take anywhere between 6 - 8 hours, and
sufficient time needs to be allowed to avoid night driving.
One may also fly to Inhambane.
Direct flights from O.R.Tambo Airport in Johannesburg operate throughout the
week.
These flights may be booked with us and in conjunction with accommodation.
From the historical city of Inhambane it is only a 30 minute drive to Barra
Lodge and transfers are done by the lodge staff.
Barra has secluded, unspoilt beaches, and is bordered by the Inhambane estuary
on one side and the sea on the other. The lodge is nestled amongst groves of
coconut trees, and the warm Indian Ocean offers safe bathing all year round.
Wide open, sun-drenched beaches offer endless hours of strolling pleasure.
