Blue Footprints is a true eco lodge in every sense of the word - barefoot luxury at an exclusive sanctuary. The lodge is a hidden beach oasis that offers understated elegance and unparalleled ocean views, specifically designed so that from the bar, restaurant, lounge, pool and villas, the full magnificence of the Indian Ocean is just a glance away.
There are no buildings to the North of the lodge and no buildings to the South. It’s just solitary beachfront and ocean right in front of you. The lodge is very proud to be able to offer such a pristine environment for your relaxation and leisure. The five exclusive Blue Footprints Villas have been designed to maximize the spectacular views of the ocean, and to give the privacy and solitude each guest deserves. They offer a unique mix of rustic and luxury elements, nestled in the natural dune, providing an underlying sense of relaxation and rejuvenation.
Each villa has its own deck, outside shower, day bed and hammock, with 180 degree, unobstructed ocean views. As the lodge only takes a maximum of 10 guests, they offer an intimate and tranquil base from which to explore this unique and diverse corner of Africa. Only the sound of the Indian Ocean and the call of the wild can disturb the peace.

The restaurant is built overlooking the ocean with folding doors opening onto two decks in the front and onto the pool deck at the back.
Inside we have created a laid back atmosphere where our guests can relax, recharge and soak in the magnificent views, while enjoying the unique flavors of food that only Mozambique has to offer. Our menu selection is carefully planned to meet the needs of all our guests and to introduce them to the exotic flavors of the region. Great care is given to creating meals that are a reflection of our commitment and hopefully leave a lasting impression on every guest, creating moments that are unforgettable.
Dishes range from authentic grilled prawns marinated in lime and chilli to delectable homemade tri-coloured chocolate mousse. We try our best to cater for all dietary restrictions to the best of our ability. Please inform us when booking of any specific dietary requirements to allow us time to source ingredients.
All our produce is carefully selected and we use only the best of local suppliers and fisherman with the freshest produce. We do not use any endangered or vulnerable species from the ocean, thereby confirming further our commitment to conservation.
All meals are accompanied by only the finest selections of wines and liqueurs to further the gastronomic experience in our restaurant. A wide variety of freshly made exotic cocktails are available to all guests whilst they relax next to our pool enjoying the ocean breeze.
