EnquireSava Dunes is a remote small beach lodge on the Barra Peninsula in Mozambique that offers relatively good value compared to other beach lodges in this part of the world.
Since taking over the new owner and management couple, Sam and Keenan who are both ex guides, have done wonders for Sava Dunes (the lodge was previously called Blue Footprints). The beach house and five cottages have been tastefully refurbished– if one is looking for a negative then it’s the size of the bathrooms. Perched on a ridge of vegetated sand dunes with the Indian Ocean and a seemingly endless expanse of deserted beach below, Sava Dunes really does have the most perfect of locations. Barra is a mere 1.5kms along the beach in one direction and Tofo 5.5kms in the other direction. Apart from enjoying in-house activities guests can walk into Tofo to go scuba diving or join an ocean safari or, in whale season, go on a half day whale cruise. There is a lot to love about Sava Dunes, its wild and raw bare foot beauty, listening to the rhythm of the waves from the comfort of one’s bed, delicious food and the fact you feel you are almost in touching distance from the whales (July-October)
Activities include scuba diving, snorkelling, marine safari (all three by boat trip), surfing, kayaking, walking and village visits. But it is an easy enough place to spend a lazy day with morning walks on the beach and lounging by the lodge swimming pool.
We had an extraordinary time. It was magical and we couldn't hav asked or hoped for more. Thank you both so much for all of your time and assistance.

We had an amazing experience - absolutely loved it.
Mohamed and Said were great and very patient especially with me going downhill - was quite nervous about the scree slopes and paths.Will be a trip we remember forever
Maritta B reviewing Atlas Valleys & Villages Trek - Value on 11 November 2024
Trip was great and all the arrangements were excellent so thank you for all the help!
Drivers and transfers were all good - on time and very good service on each trip.
Accommodation was lovely - Douar Samra was amazing (weather could have been better but lovely regardless). Riad in Marrakesh was also great!
All in all a great trip and we loved the variety of the mountains, Marrakesh and the coast.
Thanks you once again!
