Welcome

Sun, sand and affordable holidays in Barra

Sunset Lodge caters for every need: the family holiday, a tranquil get-away, or an action-packed experience of a lifetime. Spend your days on the untouched, secluded beaches of Ponta da Barra, swimming in the warm Indian Ocean all year round, snorkelling vibrant reefs or diving magnificent corals.

Horse rides, dhow trips to neighbouring villages, game fishing, saltwater mangroves and flocks of flamingos add to the splendour — and every day ends with a breath-taking Mozambican sunset.
