This is my 2nd December holiday at Vista do Mar and I enjoyed it more than ever before. Great location, superb food and very efficient staff that took care of us at the lodge! Lots to do in the Barra region with great pubs and a beautiful beach to enjoy, literally in front of the lodge. in the past we enjoyed taking a drive to the various restaurants and pubs in the area, but this year we found ourselves not wanting to leave Vista, due to the convenience, great service and superb location.

My holiday was just incredible, from the outstanding service of being doted on for my entire week's trip at Vista Do Mar, to the incredible meals I had. I was spoilt with Crayfish, Calamari, Fish and a constant spread of delicious breakfast treats. With the Beach sand practically touching your toes as you climb out of bed, and 2 different pools to choose from to dip in, I will most definitely be back again. Thank you for making my holiday extra special

If you are looking for a family or friends getaway this is the perfect luxury lodge. What's nice is they have fly-in option (private charter plane - 19 seater) direct from Lanseria to Inhambane (less then 2hr flight), makes it a perfect long weekend destination. The lodge has all luxury sea facing rooms with fabulous lounge/patio area up and downstairs of the lodge. There are 2 swimming pools with beach loungers and umbrellas which look directly onto the beach. We had 17 ladies for the trip and was honestly one of the best trips I have done. The breakfasts and dinners were fantastic and the staff are just SUPERB!!! We have already pre-booked our trip for 2023 :)

This lodge is one of the best places in Mozambique. Accommodation is excellent and staff is very helpful. Meals is also very nice. The setting every night looking out at the sea lets you feel like you are in another world. Great place will definitely go there again.

Vista do Mar is one of the few outstanding lodges in Mozambique. The lodge is right on the beach with one of the best locations in the bay, facing North. The rooms are comfortable on-suit rooms overlooking the sea. There is so much to do and diving and fishing were our priorities. Excellent diving sites and the variety of fish is great.
