Nestled on a remote stretch of white sand Mozambique coastline, the architect-designed Guludo Beach Lodge, strives to protect the environment and reduce poverty through responsible tourism. The lodge’s foundation, NEMA, has provided clean water, education, microenterprise, nutrition and health projects to the surrounding 12 communities of over 15,000 people. Like most of the options, the family banda (a big play-lounge area and a tented sleeping loft for kids, plus an adjoining spacious suite for parents) is a beautiful, relaxed combination of clean-lined adobe, thatched roof, patterned textiles and hammocks.
