How to travel to Inhambane and Barra Beach Club


By  • April 25, 2018

If you want to stay at Barra Beach Club Mozambique on a budget, you are doing the right thing – the extraordinary Barra peninsula is a few kilometres from Inhambane, right on the Inhambane estuary where long white sandy beaches meet the tides. Barra Beach Club is one of many different Mozambique lodges on this magical coastline, making Barra a great attraction for family beach holidays, honeymoons, romantic escapes and Barra diving holidays.


Inhambane as a base for adventure

Finding Inhambane in Mozambique is the easy part about travelling in Mozambique as it is a major town, airport and beach depot so to speak. Inhambane is also a great place for travellers to stock up en route to Beira or the stunning holiday accommodation options at Tofo and Barra beaches further north.

Welcome to one of Mozambique’s best diving and fishing regions and look out for the rare dugong cruising the bay. The region is also the largest cashew nut growing area in Mozambique and home to the nifty coconut and sweet citrus fruits.


History and modern comfort at Barra Beach Club

Take time to explore the fascinating mix of African, old-world Portuguese and Muslim cultures. As long ago as the 10th century, Inhambane was the southernmost port used by the Arabs for slave trading and Vasco da Gama claimed the bay for Portugal in 1498.


Choose the 4-star Barra Beach Club for absolute comfort – settle into one of the 12 air-conditioned rooms featuring flat-screen televisions and quality beds with en-suite rain showers and stylish toiletries. Relax on the private beach or enjoy other recreational amenities such as an outdoor pool.


Special package deals to Barra Beach Club Mozambique

It is easy to travel to Inhambane when you know your accommodation at Barra Beach Club fits into your budget. If you book a special package deal, most extras are paid for already and all you have to do is go and unwind. Enjoy the lodge’s beachfront restaurant, with bar and swimming pool overlooking a vast blue ocean.


Getting to Barra Beach Club is possible by air or road. Drive there in a 2×4 vehicle to one of Mozambique’s most popular southern beaches where holidays rock. Only 508km from Maputo, 1035km from Johannesburg and 1080km from Durban. Better still, ask us to incorporate your flights into your hotel bill and you won’t even notice the costs. Fly in to Inhambane International Airport from Maputo or Johannesburg and Barra Beach Club will transfer you the 20km to your chic accommodation.


Corporate facilities work at Barra Beach

What a great place to escape to for your company’s team building experience – a destination where all delegates can take part in exciting water and beach activities. What a great place for a successful think tank session, where ideas flow and important decisions are made as fluidly as the five-star service. Barra Beach Club is the ideal venue for smaller groups of up to 10 delegates but we transfer larger groups to our sister hotel, Casa Do Capitao. Here everyone gets world class service with a smile in top end venues offering state of the art technology.
