Baia Sonambula GuestHouse

Baia Sonambula (“Sleeping Beach”) offers an understated stylish beach hideaway built to a standard unparalleled in the rustic beach village of Tofo. With just five rooms, relaxation, privacy and comfort are our priority. This is a place to feel at home. After a night rested on thick Egyptian cotton sheets and waking to the sound of rolling waves lapping at the sand just 30 metres below your room, ease your way into the day with a delectable, all homemade, breakfast feast. Slip into a day bed or hammock with a fresh mint and ginger iced tea or perhaps a gin and tonic from our well-stocked honesty bar and find out what a true beach break is all about.

If it is culture you seek, take a short 150 metre stroll to the friendly local market brimming with unique produce and step into the real Mozambique. With a maximum of 10 guests staying at any time, Baia Sonambula will always feel like your own private retreat.

Where is Baia Sonambula Guest House?
With the quaint Inhambane airport just 23 kilometres from Tofo’s pristine sandy shores and Baia Sonambula, reaching paradise has never been easier.

For those driving, Inhambane is about 500 kilometres north of Mozambique’s capital city, Maputo, along good bitumen roads. Whilst the road is in excellent condition and suitable for all vehicles we advise guests to allow seven hours from Maputo as traffic can be congested in the capital and police heavily enforce the 60 kilometre speed limit in the string of picturesque villages and towns the road winds its way through.

Once you arrive in Inhambane, head east and simply follow the "Praia do Tofo" signs for about 23 kilometres. At "Babalaza", a small town with a string of roadside stalls, turn sharply right when the road folks and continue for five kilometres. There is a petrol station with an ATM on this road. Please note this is the last petrol station and there are no ATMs in Tofo. Upon arrival at Tofo look out for our sign directing you to turn left into a sandy road. If you are driving a raised 4X4 take this road, otherwise we advise driving for another 100 metres to the next sandy road which is suitable for all vehicles.

Either way, continue along the sandy roads for a further 500 metres following our signs, until you reach the sea and our wooden double gates. You can safely park your car outside our doors. Welcome to Baia Sonambula.
