Ulala Lodge

Northern Mozambique


Small is beautiful at Ulala, right on Murrébuè Beach, with six wind- and solar-powered bamboo bungalows and a separate large dining/relaxing area. A couple of the bungalows are raised on stilts just back from the beach; two others cater for families. All have hot water, nets and covered decks and are visited by the sea breeze.

Ulala is French owned and – no surprise – serves up some good meals headlined by fish. Half- and full-board rates are available.
