Travessia Beach Lodge  Verified Listing

Travessia is an Eco Beach Lodge that is all about understated barefoot-luxury. A mere 2,5 hours drive from the airport of Vilanculos, 1.5 hours from Inhambane, and just six kilometre of sand track away from the main road, the lodge is accessible enough for a long weekend break and yet remote enough still to give you that instant feeling of being cast-away.

Bathrooms are ensuite with a seperate toilet and outdoor shower, except for Casa Madeira, which has the shower indoor.

The lodge is built on the dunes along the beach, nestled between bush and palm trees and with carefully chosen spots to maximize privacy and seaviews whilst maintaining proximity of the rooms to the lounge, restaurant and the beach. The buildings are constructed using elevated wooden decks and roll-up canvas walls under a roof thatched with local makuti.

Wooden walkways lead from the rooms to the Lodge’s main building with the restaurant, lounge and a spacious deck, overlooking the palm grove and the sea. A short walk from the restaurant will take you to our beach bar and pool with sundeck.
The lodge is entirely solar powered – ensuring a light environmental footprint.

* On Water: Mozambique sports world class dive sites, with whale sharks, manta rays or dolphins being a common sight off our shores. We will gladly organise your snorkelling or diving trip or ocean experience with one of Inhambane’s established dive centres. If you prefer to explore the ocean directly from our beach, there are body boards for kids and adults, an inflatable K2 and a two seater canoe to paddle out and brave the beach break.
* On Foot: Walk our endless beach which you only have to share with a handful of local fishermen and occasionally the kids of the neighbouring villages. We will happily provide you with a beach picnic. Find the enormous Baobab hidden in the sea of palm trees surrounding our terrain. Pay a visit to our neighbours for the Sunday soccer match or just to say hello and possibly score an invite to their small but creatively decorated and furnished houses, most of them made of woven palm fronds.
On wheels: Join us on one of our weekly shopping trips to Maxixe and browse the maze of the local market. You are unlikely to meet another tourist here. If you are interested in the broader neighbourhood, we will also gladly take you on a tour through the communities and introduce you to some of the projects we are involved in.
We also recommend a day trip to the city of Inhambane, which is just 20 minutes by ferry across the lagoon from Maxixe. This in itself is an experience.
