Flamingo Bay Water Lodge

Flamingo Bay Water Lodge is situated in the pristine tidal bay of Inhambane 485km north of Maputo, the capital of Mozambique. The lodge is situated on stilts on the crystal clear waters of the warm Indian Ocean. This eco-paradise is home to flocks of flamingos, tropical fish and the very rare dugong. The sunsets at Flamingo Bay are nothing less than breathtaking. The warm Indian Ocean offers safe bathing all year round and the endless wide open beaches offer hours of strolling pleasure.

The main building and chalets are connected by wooden walkways where golf carts are available to ferry guests. The main building can also be accessed from the land and is fronted by the tidal waters of the bay.

The lodge is not on the open sea but on a beautiful tidal estuary and experiences the same tidal changes as one would experience at any coastal resort. This however creates an interesting environment with the fish following the tide as it moves in and out as well as the birds and crabs and other estuarine creatures appearing and moving with these daily changes. Flamingo Bay has access to the open ocean which is a short walk out the back of the lodge. Guests are also afforded the privilege of frequent and regular complimentary vehicle transfers throughout the day to Barra Lodge in order to enjoy its facilities right on the main beach as well as all the activities on offer.

The water chalets are spacious and well-appointed with balcony, wide opening sliding doors and air-conditioning. The chalets and furniture are constructed from beautiful local hardwoods from Mozambique.

Each chalet is situated on stilts in the crystal clear tidal waters of Inhambane Bay. Sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling and boating may be enjoyed directly from each chalet.

This region is fast becoming world famous for its spectacular diving. The diving here in Mozambique compares with some of the best in the world and is still a relatively well-kept secret.

From the awesome sightings of manta rays, whale sharks and humpback whales to the sought after harlequin shrimp, frogfish and seahorses – there is something to please everyone.

The warm waters of the Indian Ocean are teeming with life and the reefs are pristine. There are over 1000 species of fish as well as dolphins and turtles. The list is endless; the colors of the reefs, beyond description and divers are still discovering uncharted reefs.

Barra Resorts dive operation offers PADI Gold Palm status with unsurpassed professional service excellence.
