Tilak Lodge is a beachfront lodge on the Ponta do Barra peninsula at Tofo Beach, in Mozambique’s Inhambane province. Tilak Lodge describes itself on its own site as one of Tofo’s newer lodges, directly on the beach.
Best for
Tilak Lodge suits couples or families wanting an air-conditioned en-suite room close to the beach.
It suits larger groups of friends through its two eight-person buddy rooms, though it suits those wanting total privacy less well given the shared buddy-room format.
Location
The lodge sits on the Ponta do Barra peninsula at Tofo Beach, about 22 km from Inhambane city by road. In a straight line it is about 830 m north-west of our Tofo village reference point.
Rooms and style at Tilak Lodge
Tilak Lodge has 12 air-conditioned double rooms with en-suite bathrooms, six of which have interlocking doors that convert into family rooms, plus two buddy rooms that each sleep eight people with individual lockers per bed.
Facilities at Tilak Lodge
Verified facilities include air conditioning, tea and coffee making facilities, complimentary water, mosquito nets, luxury linen, beach towels, and a terrace with seating in each room. Diving is arranged through the affiliated Tofo Scuba, and tours through Kape Kape Tours.
Trade-offs and what to know
The buddy rooms suit groups but mean less privacy than a standard double room.
Standard check-in and check-out times are not published on the official site.
Getting there and getting around
Tilak Lodge is reached by road from Inhambane city to Tofo Beach; the official site does not state whether a transfer or four-wheel-drive vehicle is required for the final approach to the peninsula.

Before you book
Before booking, confirm whether a standard double or a buddy room is wanted, check-in and check-out times, and whether diving or tours need to be arranged in advance through the lodge’s partners. Guests travelling as a family should also ask whether interlocking family rooms are available for their dates, and whether beach towels and linen are supplied as standard for a longer stay.
