Best for
Shaquila Lodge suits travellers who want a bay-front base with a choice of a simple room or a self-catering house near Nacala’s beaches

Trade-offs and what to know
The bay-front setting and paddleboard access suit an active, low-key stay, but the property does not allow pets
payment is by cash only, which guests should plan for in advance rather than relying on cards
the lodge has no review history on Booking.com at the time of writing, so first-hand accounts are limited
Getting there and getting around
Fernao Veloso sits on Nacala Bay close to Nacala International Airport, with the port city of Nacala reached by a road drive of roughly 20 minutes from the lodge.

Before you book
Before booking, confirm whether a standard room or one of the Two-Bedroom House units suits your group, your arrival time within the 15:00–20:00 check-in window, that cash payment is workable, and whether paddleboard use needs to be arranged in advance.
