Lagoa Poelela resort is a perfect family destination for those who seek luxury accommodation:

• beautiful indigenous surroundings
• undisturbed beaches
• safe swimming
• non- motorized water sports
• ornithological experience.

Poelela it-self offers and ensures enjoyment of water activities such as line fishing, sailing, windsurfing, kite-surfing, kayaking and sun-set cruises as well as excellent snorkeling at the nearby coral reef on the ocean front.

It is a nature, wildlife and bird enthusiast paradise and sanctuary.

Deep-sea fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling is organized through the appointed and registered diving facilities at Zavora.

To ensure the peace and tranquility of Lagoa Poelela resort we have established a no-wake zone without motorized noise and pollution. The motor boating aficionados such as deep sea fishing and high powered boats can be enjoyed on the Indian Ocean front with ample launching facilities at Zavora.

Each of the three completed lodge units consists of a main Casa with a smaller Casita on either side; in total 227 sq m for combined unit.

The main Casa has :

• a large open kitchen/dining area, fitted cupboards and equipped kitchen
• a large furnished living area
• two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms/shower, double fitted cupboards.

The two individual Casitas (40 sq m) each consist of :

• one furnished bedroom
• en-suite bathroom
• fitted cupboards.

The lodges are very spacious with earthen colours and local typically African decoration scheme complementing the idyllic surrounds of white sand and turquoise blue water. 

All the lodges, situated within a coconut palm setting, open on the beach front and the lagoon.

They are fully furnished with large sliding doors towards the front offering a cool breeze and astounding view over the vast lagoon.   

Each lodge unit has its own exotic outdoor shower, local thatch beach umbrellas and entertainment area with a fire/braai place in the sand

Lagoa Poelela resort is a small scale contained luxury development (max 10 lodge units) situated in a designated eco-tourist area between “heaven and the deep blue sea”.

The lodges are individually for sale.

The resort will manage a rental pool of the lodges for those owners wishing to rent out their units.

The up-keep and maintenance of the lodges and their infrastructure, as well as the marina and the restaurant, will be undertaken by a dedicated and trained management team.

Ownership and property title is ensured through the transfer of shares in Lagoa Poelala Lda – a fully registered company with the Ministry of Justice. The transfer is facilitated by the assigned company lawyer.

While the initial purpose is to transfer ownership of the lodges the resort management is also letting them out fully furnished for shorter or longer periods.

The Lagoon, with low salinity, covers an area of approximately 76 square km.

The lagoon is a unique, totally unspoiled, inland waterway surrounded by a few dormant villages and vast coconut plantations.

The entire ocean front area and the dunes are part of an eco-centre abundant with small wild life, deer, buck, monkeys and rich bird fauna and fish.

The resort is app 2.5 km from the warm Indian Ocean with kilometers of white beaches and high sand dunes. It is easily reached (4x4) by direct sand and dirt trails through the dense bush vegetation.

Fishing

Deep sea game fishing charters. Visitors are welcome to bring their own boats, however boats and equipment may also be hired at the Marina. Licenses to launch boats in the ocean and lake are required and these are easily obtained at Zavora

Boating

House boating—Lake and sunset cruises

Diving

Superb diving. There are amazing coral reefs, which make this an ideal snorkeling and diving destination. For the more experienced divers there is a shipwreck offshore. The ship “Klipfontein” sank in 1953 during a race with a fellow German ship. The wreck is to be found 54m under and we believe this to be one of the best diving sites in the world. Discoveries have been made of copper, coins, old wine bottles, making this dive at he “Klipfontein” wreck one of the top 5 thins to do and see. All diving is done through MozDive.

Water Sports

Sailing, water-skiing, banana rides, kayaking, tubing, wind surfing and paddle boats are some of the activities to be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Quad biking is not permitted along the beaches, however inland this is not a problem.

In close proximity to both developments is an eco-sanctuary, where bird-watching and dune forests can be enjoyed.

Wining and dining whilst overlooking the sparkling waters of the ocean and lake are the order of the day.

LAM (reliable, good Mozambican airline) operates domestic flights between Maputo, Beira, Vilankulos, Pemba and Inhambane.

Inhambane is approximately half an hours drive from Lake Poelela by car. International flights from South Africa into Mozambique land at Maputo International Airport, as well as at Beira, Inhambane and Vilankulos airports.

Additional to the above Pelican Airways and Swazi Air also have flights available to and within Mozambique.

If you fly direct to Inhambane, transfers can be arranged to Lake Poelela.

Alternatively you can fly directly to Maputo and hire a vehicle for the drive to Lake Poelela and Ponta Zavora, passing through palm groves and quaint towns.

From Johannesburg—The most frequented route is from Johannesburg along the N4 toll road via Witbank, Nelspruit and the Lebombo/Resano Garcia Border Post to Maputo. Roads and bridges are in good condition, and it is possible to drive in a two-wheel-drive vehicle, even during wet season. However, 4 wheel drive vehicles are more suitable to the areas off the main roads.

Alternative route via Kruger National Park. Travelers are now able to travel through the Kruger National Park (this is a pleasant drive offering game viewing).

From the Kruger National Park, you arrive at Giriyondo Border Post, then through the Limpopo National Park to the Massingir Dam (4 x 4 vehicles required during the wet season).

After departing from Massingir, the road is tarred to the EN1 Highway. Visitors to the Kruger Park are advised to plan their trips as the K N Park closes its gates at 6 pm and re-open at 6 am each morning.

From Maputo you would keep driving on the EN1, passing through a number of small settlements, until you reach Xai-Xai, (approx 175 km’s from Maputo) which is a good place to re-fuel).

From Xai-Xai travelers remain on the EN1, watching out for potholes on an 80 km’s stretch of road which is currently under construction. Quissico is the following town, approx 80 km from Xai-Xai is the first place of note one arrives at in the Inhambane Province.

Set high on a hill you have magnificent view of lagoons and Lake Poelela.

Keep on the EN1 until you reach Inharrime town (approx 35 km’s from Quissico). Approximately 8 km’s from Inharrime, turn right at the sign post to Zavora and continue on this gravel road for 12 km’s until you turn off to the right at the sign marked Lake Poelela. The sand road from the run-off will lead you to the lake water front and then to Ponta Zavora Development
