Why we Love Sava Dunes Beach Lodge

Allow yourself to be bathed in this breathtaking lodge and its accompanying views!
The five exclusive Sava Dunes Villas have been specifically designed to enhance the mesmerizing views of the ocean and to give the privacy and peace each guest deserves.
Sava Dunes is a perfect base from which to explore the area's bountiful marine creatures, rich cultural heritage, or just immerse yourself in the natural surroundings and relax!

Sava Dunes in Inhambane is a fantastic Mozambique Holiday Eco Lodge found in the Inhambane region close to Tofo and Barra beaches. The focus is on the environment – abundant sea animals, rich cultural heritage, indigenous vegetation and seclusion. The ethic is green – off the grid facilities include solar power for electricity and borehole water.

Sava Dunes radiates peace and style, with only five suites for 10 guests, each with panoramic views of the blue ocean. The villas – with outside showers, day beds and hammocks – blend rustic and luxury elements, nestling in the dunes for complete privacy. Make this lodge a romantic getaway, a family reunion venue, a corporate business team-building setting or friends’ party place.

Looking for a romantic Mozambique Honeymoon, look no further than Sava Dunes, located on a quiet stretch of beach Tofo! Grab some adventure and go snorkelling with whale sharks or quad biking on cultural tours to the fascinating towns of Tofo and Praia Da Barra.

Scuba divers can ogle the famous Tofu and Barra Manta Ray, Humpback Whale and Whale Shark – a sea addict’s dream holiday spot! Not only is the Tofu-Barra region home to the Bottlenose and Humpback Dolphins but so too is it the only place to see intriguing Smalleye Stingrays, Leopard sharks, White-tip and Grey-reef sharks, Devil Rays and Ribbon Tails.

Sava Dunes sits on a volcanic rock base covered in hard and soft corals where reef fish of all colours live in harmony with shrimps, octopus, squid, eels and frogfish.

After a dive head to the restaurant with two decks and digest wonderful Mozambique foods and drinks – an unforgettable dining experience.
