Nuarro Lodge

Overview

Location: Mozambique – Accommodation Type: Lodge – Comfort Level: Luxury

On the beautiful Baixo do Pinda Peninsula in Northern Mozambique, lies Nuarro – an eco-lodge in a concession with three kilometres of sea front. The private lodge stands sentry along the sand dunes, ensconced by indigenous bush. Nuarro is a very special ‘bush and beach’ lodge, with pristine tropical beaches, a warm azure ocean, and unspoiled bush all with their own unique biodiversity.

The eco-friendly Nuarro Lodge was built with local materials by local people, and features dry sanitation and full solar power. The friendly people offer guests a warm welcome, and the unspoilt surroundings ensure an authentic wilderness getaway.

Nuarro’s sun-drenched beaches and warm azure waters provide a paradise for swimmers, divers, snorkelers, sailors and anglers. The emphasis at Nuarro is relaxation, and guests at this comfortable and enchantingly rustic lodge will truly feel that they are ‘getting away from it all’.

Accommodation

The twelve spacious chalets at Nuarro Lodge were built on the dunes using local natural materials. The luxury beachfront chalets all have sea-views and are spaced to maximise privacy. The beds, either king or twin, are draped in mosquito nets, and the lounge area is furnished with unique locally made furniture and soft furnishings. The secluded verandahs, with hammocks and wooden chairs, step directly onto the private beach, where shaded private sun-loungers offer an idyllic relaxation spot. The chalets have bright full en-suite bathrooms with an additional outdoor shower. Ten of the chalets have an additional loft-room to accommodate a third person.

Wildlife

Humpback whales visit the Nuarro bay with their young from June to November and Dolphinscan be seen from time to time. Birdlife is prolific, with over 400 species recorded in the area. Guests may sight Madagascar pratincole, Eurasian oystercatcher, massive flocks of Crab plovers, Eleonora’s falcon, Bat hawk African hill-babbler, Long-billed tailorbird, and Stierling’s Woodpecker, amongst a myriad of other species.

During dives, hundreds of underwater species can be seen, amongst them: mantis shrimp, cowries, nudibranch, butterfly fish, damsel fish, moray eels, blue-spotted stingrays and a diverse range of coral including table coral, and elephant, acropora, mountain and dome types. Bioluminescence makes for spectacular, and never forgotten, night dives.
