PESTANA INHACA LODGE – CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

The Island of Inhaca, with about 100 kilometres of coastline, is located just 40 kilometres from Maputo, the capital of Mozambique. Pestana Inhaca Lodge is located on the beachfront on Inhaca Island, amidst luxuriant tropical vegetation.

Located on the fringe of the tropics, the island offers pristine beaches, translucent turquoise waters, abundant coral reefs and exotic marine life. Guests are gently lulled by the laid-back rhythms of this small, protected island, and the lodge enhances this ambience with stunning gardens, warm hospitality, and mouth-wateringly fresh seafood dishes.

It is easily accessed with daily air transfers, just 10 minutes flying time from Maputo. Boat companies can arrange boat transfers for larger groups.

Accommodation

Pestana Inhaca Lodge’s forty air-conditioned bungalows are set amongst magnificent coconut trees and bright gardens. All have en-suite bathrooms, mosquito nets, and satellite TV, and offer double or twin beds. Family rooms have a sleeper couch to accommodate two small children. The African island décor ensures a bright, cool airiness.

Wildlife

The diving Inhaca offers is world class. The fish life is virtually untouched and the reefs are unspoiled. Staghorn and plate coral, moray eel, and potato bass are in abundance. Dolphins, whale sharks and manta rays frequent the area during the summer months. Loggerhead turtles nest on the beach, and the prolific birdlife includes pelicans, flamingos, white-faced owls, whimbrel and hammer tops.

Game fish in the area include marlin, sailfish, tuna, dorado, kingfish and barracuda
