Coral Lodge Mozambique

Passionate Staff and Superb Setting at Coral Lodge

Mozambique Travel recommends your forever beach holiday at the warm-hearted Coral Lodge seaside destination on the very tip of a peninsula in Nampula, close to entrancing Ilha de Mozambique in one of Mozambique’s most spectacular beach settings.

Find this homely ocean-view hotel in a conservation area called Varanda where pristine mangroves and bays remain intact, boasting diverse birds and marine species, and where the silence is golden. A short boat ride away from the cultural and historical delights of Ilha de Mozambique, your Coral Lodge vacation combines only the best of outdoor ocean activities with fascinating tours of historical buildings and monuments, community projects, local foods and markets galore. 

Chat to the friendly staff who mostly come from Cabaceira Pequena and accept an invitation to visit one of their houses, then take a look at the Vasco da Gama well and the graves of the Arab community that was founded in the 12th century. Coral Lodge is committed to a balanced eco-tourism experience where guests explore a pristine nature reserve, discover wildlife, meet friendly community people who are sustained by their luxury holidays and also learn how to save natural resources thanks to the lodge’s commitment to alternative energies. 

Coral Lodge – The Perfect Beach Setting

Find the captivating Coral Lodge on the very tip of a picture postcard-perfect peninsula within an unspoiled nature reserve in Nampula Mozambique, a mere 20-minute boat ride from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ilha de Moçambique. Discover a luxury and tasteful beach venue that combines one of Mozambique’s most stunning beach locations with the country’s rich culture and trade history. 

Coral Lodge is a unique blend of contemporary design combined with the utmost respect for its rare and unique surroundings.  Neat, handmade wooden pathways link the 10 elegant villas to the main lodge, which is built on a sand dune using locally sourced bricks, Mozambican hardwood, and thatch from Maputo. Furniture carved from coconut wood decorates the dining and lounge areas while a large circular pool on a large deck is ideal for sundowners. Spend many a glorious sunset in the elegant lounge bar and restaurant, The Reef, perfectly placed on the tip of the peninsula, an ingenious open-air venue where guests can choose to be out under the stars or under the attractive thatched roof. 

Beach and ocean holidays at Coral Lodge are not complete without an exploration of the magical Ilha de Mozambique (Island of Mozambique), once the capital of the country – and the local Macua village nearby. Jump on board a canoe or take a walk to visit the local market and learn about the traditional life in villages, taste the traditional sea urchin dish and appreciate guided historical tours of Ilha.
