Sava Dunes is a luxurious eco-lodge situated along the picturesque Inhambane coastline in Mozambique, between Barra and Tofo. Set in a remote location atop a sand dune, the lodge offers breathtaking panoramic views of the beach and ocean. Designed to blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings, the lodge features a swimming pool with a swim-up bar, a spacious deck, and an outdoor dining area overlooking the stunning Inhambane coastline.
The accommodation comprises just five ocean-facing cottages positioned just steps away from the beach, each with private decks offering uninterrupted ocean views. Additionally, there is one family cottage nestled within the serene garden. While at Sava Dunes, guests are invited to enjoy the famous beach bar for delectable cocktails, and the dining areas in the main lodge serving seasonal dishes and a combination of traditional seafood.
While the whole country is known for its scenic beauty and abundant natural attractions, perhaps the most popular region of Mozambique for tourism is the southern area – especially for lovers of the ocean and an island-like tropical climate. Southern Mozambique's coastline is renowned as a hub for diving and surfing enthusiasts, offering thrilling encounters with dolphins and even majestic whale sharks.
When staying at Sava Dunes, guests will experience a truly authentic and serene beach escape while exploring the area's renowned ocean safaris. With an array of sea and beach activities available, such as surfing, diving, deep-sea fishing, snorkeling, and whale shark spotting, Sava Dunes provides an ideal retreat for beach enthusiasts.

Amazing location!
We loved the wild location (unique for Tofo) and the breathtaking views of the ocean. I can only imagine the amount of whales and dolphins that are spotted from here in season. The food was great and the acting hosts and really looked after us super well!

Lovely Experience
We thoroughly enjoyed all the ocean activities, and out of all the experiences, whale watching stood out as our absolute favorite.

Getting There:
Sava Dunes is along the Inhambane coastline, and sits neatly on top of the beach dunes. The location is quite a bit north of the bustling fishing village of Tofo (roughly 5.5 km ) and close to the south of Barra beach (1.5 km). In terms of getting to the lodge, we recommend flying. Sava dunes is also a selfdrive destination, but only seasoned 4x4’ers should attempt the drive. The roads are sandy and the location is remote. It requires a certain level of skill to navigate the landscape. You will need to fly into either Vilanculos or Inhambane, and the lodge will transfer you from the airport. These road transfers are at an extra cost and will need to be arranged along with your booking. Inhambane is the closest and most accessible, and the lodge is only 25 km from the centre of Inhambane.
No need to bring your own snorkelling equipment, basic snorkelling equipment is available at the lodge.
Sava Dunes has a family room that is ideal for people travelling with children.
