Nuarro

Nuarro is a luxury eco-lodge in Memba Bay on the Baxio do Pinda peninsula in northern Mozambique.  The lodge is spread along an 800m section of pristine coastline and is nestled in amongst the lush vegetation overlooking the  pretty crescent shaped bay.

Accommodation & Facilities
The lodge has 12 traditionally built chalets constructed from local materials and makuti roofs.  Each chalet offers spacious, comfortable accommodation and is decorated with splashes of colour using locally printed material and hand crafted furniture which gives the rooms a quirky feel.  The rooms have adjoining bathrooms complete with an indoor and outdoor solar heated shower and a long drop loo in keeping with the lodge’s eco ethics.  The rooms are designed to take advantage of the sea breeze and each has a large private verandah with views out to the Indian Ocean.  The lodge has two restaurants located at either end of the property; the beach bar and main restaurant.  There is also a curio shop and a well-equipped activities centre.

Activities
The emphasis at Nuarro is on the local environment and local people.  Guests can enjoy kayaking in nearby mangroves, mountain biking through neighbouring villages to an historic light house, sunset dhow trips, visits to the villages of the friendly Macua people and massages.  One of Nuarro’s most unique features is the fantastic diving and snorkelling available straight from its beach.  The lodge’s proximity to the continental shelf gives divers the opportunity to see an abundance of reef fish, soft and hard corals on the 80m drop-off just a couple of hundred metres off the beach.  As well as shore based diving there are many excellent dive sites in the area and the lodge has an on-site PADI dive centre.  Dolphin and whale watching is also possible from Nuarro, and between mid-June and the end of November, humpback whales are often spotted from the shore as they migrate north to give birth to their young in the warm tropical waters.  There is also colourful birdlife within the Nuarro private conservation area.
