About Travessia Beach Lodge

Wonderfully isolated Eco-Lodge - so unspoilt it feels like a secret.

Combine deliciously warm water and a glorious endless beach with true Robinson Crusoe style remoteness and you get Travessia Beach Lodge. Nestled between palm forest and the dunes lining the Southern Mozambican coastline, this is simple luxury at its best: quality, comfort and never too “done”. The lodge’s guided afternoon bushwalks introduce travelers to a picture book of rural African living: people busy with traditional food preparations, small scale farming and magnificent baobab trees, hidden in a sea of coconut palms.
The secluded casas have spacious decks, with hammocks and ensuite outdoor showers with panoramic views over the palm grove and ocean. All buildings are set on raised wooden decks with roll-up canvas walls under a thatched roof and in close proximity to the beach. The lodge is entirely solar powered – ensuring a light environmental footprint.
Off the beaten track yet easily accessible from Vilankulos or Inhambane, Travessia offers family practicality, villa privacy and true relaxation. Loved by families, couples and single travelers alike.

Dining & Cuisine

Food at Travessia
Travessia's restaurant boasts great views over the palm grove and the sea and is, together with our beach and pool lounge, a great spot to take in the golden hours of the day. Breakfast is served with continental and cereal options with seasonal fruit, juices, coffees and teas and a selection of bread or rolls, with a choice of hot breakfast. Light lunches are served at the restaurant and can also be ordered from the pool lounge. Choose between a selection of salads, wraps, burgers, local snacks and daily specials. Dinners at Travessia Beach Lodge are set two course menus, always accompanied by a generous salad. The fish and crayfish are literally from sea to table and our chef’s homemade mango, passionfruit or coconut ice creams and sorbets are legend! Travessia is regularly receiving great feedback for our ability to accommodate vegetarian, vegan and other dietary requirements. Occasionally, we turn our palm grove into an "al fresco" lounge for an open air cooked Paella or Barbeque, or for a private dinner under the stars.
