Pomene Bay Lodge

Located in Pomene, 605km north of Maputo

Pomene Bay Lodge is situated in one of the most picturesque spots in Mozambique. It is remote, with a very low local population assuring pristine and unspoilt conditions. Pomene Bay Lodge is 605km north of Maputo and 170km south of Vilanculos. Road transfers can be arranged from Inhambane (this takes approximately 4 hours).

Accommodation

From every accommodation site you are no more than one minutes walk from the white beach sand and the warm Indian Ocean. The lodge is advantageously located in the Pomene Bay offering a sheltered haven for swimming. Here one cannot escape the rhythmic sound of the ocean nor miss seeing perfect sunsets over the Estuary.

10 Water Chalets grace the estuary. Sheltered from wind and sea this is the perfect getaway for those looking for a "back to nature" experience.  These rooms are all en-suite with double bed. They are serviced daily but do not have air-conditioning. Pomene currently runs on generator power and the power supply is turned off in the evenings. Lights are available during the night from a reserve power supply. These rooms are sold on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis and guests are required to bring their own swimming towels.

There are 3 self-catering chalets (8-sleeper, 6-sleeper and a 4-sleeper). All these chalets have cutlery, crockery, 2 plate gas cooker, freezer and bedding including mosquito nets on all beds. Each chalet has a separate toilet and shower with hot and cold water. All cleaning materials and swimming towels are to be provided by guests.

The Den consists of 4 x 1 roomed chalets each with en-suite shower and toilet. They sleep  maximum of 2 guests per room. This cluster of chalets has a communal fully equipped kitchen, suitable for a group of 8 people who are looking for a little more privacy than living together in one chalet

Dining

The bar overlooks the pool and estuary, a perfect spot for sunsets and fishing tales. Here one may enjoy a meal al fresco on the restaurant balcony on the banks of the estuary, fresh fish and crab are menu favourites, however meals to suit all tastes are on offer.
