This is what we thought about Eclectic Beach Retreat: the best beach in the area and in the best place, especially the architecture and the way it is surrounded by nature. The chalets had quality fittings and we loved the staff and we walked every morning up the beach. Best part? Food, cooked by Chef António!

We loved Eclectic Beach Retreat and yes, eclectic describes it well for us – so much to see and do right from your private patio. We literally stepped off the patio onto the beach and walked for ages. The sea is so warm too and we loved having our own small kitchen to make snacks during the day. But we can recommend the restaurant too where the best fresh fish is served, yum! The breakfasts are the best I have ever had and staff are just the best, so friendly.

I can’t even put into words how amazing my stay at Eclectic Beach Retreat in Mozambique was. It’s like stepping onto a postcard. The crystal-clear waters, the powdery sand, and the lush palm trees… it was pure unadulterated paradise! And the best part? The staff are so friendly and helpful, they really made my stay extra special. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem especially as a solo traveler wanting some space but attention when you need it. Barra Beach and the peninsula is full of cool bars and restaurants and you can stroll from Eclectic to quite a number if you feel the need.
This was part of a 2-week Mozambique holiday and by far the best value for money accommodation on my trip. I booked with Mozambiquetravel.com and the sales manager Luts was amazing especially as one of my flights was cancelled and she sorted everything out for me including emergency hotel accommodation in Maputo. Go to Eclectic – you will love it.
