Palm Grove Lodge, trading as Tropical Holidays, is a group of self-catering beach houses on the sand at Praia da Barra, on Mozambique’s Inhambane coast. Palm Grove Lodge lists at least 14 separate numbered houses on its accommodation page, alongside a restaurant area. It sits directly on the beach among palm trees, a short distance south of Tofo.
Best for
Palm Grove Lodge suits groups or families who want a self-catering house on the beach with restaurant facilities close by.
It suits less well guests wanting a single hotel-style room, since the property is arranged as a set of separate numbered houses rather than one shared building.
Location
The lodge sits directly on the beach at Praia da Barra, Inhambane Province. In a straight line it is about 130 m west of our Praia da Barra reference point.
Rooms and style at Palm Grove Lodge
Guests choose from numbered self-catering houses, with the property’s accommodation page listing at least 14 separate units; exact bedroom counts and layouts vary by house and should be confirmed for the specific one booked.
Facilities at Palm Grove Lodge
Verified facilities include a restaurant area and direct beach access; the property also offers wedding services alongside its regular accommodation.
Trade-offs and what to know
Detailed bedroom counts and bed configurations are not published for each numbered house, so these should be confirmed directly with Palm Grove Lodge before booking.
As a self-catering property, day-to-day meals depend largely on guests’ own catering except where the restaurant area is used.
Getting there and getting around
Palm Grove Lodge is reached by road along the Barra peninsula south of Tofo and Inhambane town; guests should confirm with the property in advance whether a 4×4 vehicle is advisable for the sandy approach roads to the beach.
