Beach resort for sale in Praia de Macaneta, Mozambique

The Shire Eco Lodge – Mozambique

Price: USD 600,000

Location: 100 km North of Maputo, Mozambique

Property Overview:

The Shire Eco Lodge is a boutique retreat set in wild coastal bushland north of Maputo. Built with sustainability at its core, the lodge consists of three bush camps and cottages designed for low-carbon footprint holidays. Guests once enjoyed surf fishing, whale sightings, birdwatching, and 4x4 drives to nearby lakes.

Important note: The lodge has not been operational for several years. While the infrastructure remains, it requires refurbishment, upgrades, and reactivation to bring it back to full working order. This is a rare chance to acquire a ready-made eco-tourism concept with strong foundations, but buyers should expect to invest in renovations and marketing to relaunch the property.
