Best for people that like non populated places away from everything. It is hard to get there but it pays off! The staff was amazing it felt like the place was our own. Only nature sounds, a great taste of the wilderness

I read the reviews for this lodge several months ago and they were so relentlessly gushing that I didn't quite think they'd be real or maybe they were real but written by hippies and backpackers with slightly different hotel requirements to me and my Sis who I was travelling with (nothing against hippies or backpackers for the record!). I am delighted to report that the gushing is accurate and well deserved...Emma and George do indeed cater to your every whim in a laid back and welcoming way. This is not luxury in the traditional sense, you don't have a buttler or a consierge but you don't need shoes and most of the time you don't need a brain as everything is thought out for you. Our stilted bungalow had a beautiful deck with comfy chairs and a phenomenal view, crisp sheets under the mozi net and water and bug spray without requesting it. The beach has deck chairs tucked away in thoughtful places by shady tree's and in view of rolling tides and artful driftwood as well as secluded security so you feel totally secure without loosing that beach feeling of freedom. The communal lodge has a sandy floored bar with amazingly friendly and helpful staff (it's stocked with basics so if you have wild or weird tastes then mention this ahead of your visit) and sofa's taking in more of the awesome beach view. I'm a fussy veggie and my Sister is allergic to things so we're not easy to cater for but the team rallied and made sure we were well fed with 3 giant courses each evening. Other guests who were 'normal' eaters raved about the food and the after dinner interaction between the guests made for really a nice end to a balmy night...it may not be the place for you if you're looking for a disco but if a day on the beach has tired you out so dinner and relaxed company are what you're looking for then this is your idea of heaven! Wifi not great in room but fine in the communal area which I thought I'd mention as it looks like a negative on the rating scores otherwise. Thanks George, Emma and the team for ending our Mozambique travels in perfect tranquility before LAM managed to destroy the hard work we put into unwinding!

Georges and Emma were fantastic hosts. Would highly recommend Ulala for folks looking to get away and enjoy ultimate relaxation. Their staff is all local and I commend them for ensure that the local economy is taken care of. The beach is great for a run in the morning and very few people that you even encounter. It is like being at the beach alone. Highly recommended for families and couples and the food is great!!
