Lugar do Mar is a coastal property at Macaneta, on the Mozambican coast north of Maputo across the Incomati river mouth. Lugar do Mar combines Standard and Deluxe rooms with self-catering chalets, set in gardens that run down toward the beach, and positions itself around dining and an events programme as much as accommodation alone.
Best for
Lugar do Mar suits travellers wanting a beach stay with a restaurant, sky bar and events programme rather than a purely self-catering camp.
It suits less well guests seeking a strictly quiet retreat, since the property hosts organised events such as live music, themed buffets and traditional dance performances.
Location
Lugar do Mar is on the coast at Macaneta, a beach peninsula reached from Maputo across the Incomati river. In a straight line it is about 2.1 km north of our Praia de Macaneta reference point.
