Located in the northern province of Nampula, on the shores of the aquamarine bay of Nanatha, lies Nuarro Lodge. The eco rustic lodge is proud of its friendly staff, top class activities and hearty meals on offer in this remote and pristine environment. The lodge was built with the help and close involvement of the local community. To this day the lodge works together with the local village on issues involving conservation in the area and community projects. Due to its close proximity to the continental shelf, divers can enjoy beach access diving. Nuarro is one of only two lodges in Mozambique that offers this. Memba Bay is also the perfect location to enjoy whale watching from the shore as mothers and calves are often seen in the secluded, protected waters of the bay during whale season.

Nuarro Lodge offers ten beach front chalets and two cottages, dotted along the extensive 2 km long beachfront. The spacious chalets are all built from local, natural materials by the local community.
