Gala Gala Eco Resort

What an incredible place, set in lush vegetation and a 400m walk to a magnificent beach ! The best thing by far is the personal attention given by all the staff at Gala Gala. Organising dolphin trips, scuba diving and even having a little shopping corner with local products ! Tonight we ate in and the food is insane ! Crab curry, chicken and fresh fish ! Wow - better than any 5* restaurant we have been too

We ended up at Gala Gala unexpectedly at nighttime. Not knowing what to expect, we were pleasantly surprised. What an amazing, peaceful and friendly place! The staff and owners were just incredibly kind and helpful (made sure our rooms were ready even though we came super last minute, helped us fix something on our car that caused it to not start, always in for a chat). The rooms were clean and beds equipped with good mosquito nets. The lounge area was awesomely decorated and comfy. Had a great breakfast in the morning and they have lovely cappuccinos! As I live in Maputo, I’ll definitely be back and will recommend to future visitors as well. Big bonus: there were lots of furry friends around (we even got personally escorted by one of the dogs on our walk from the restaurant a bit down the road back to the hotel).

In one word FANTASTIC !! The staff went out of their way to make our time special! They decorated our bed with flowers and special design with the towels. Such a nice touch. They truly went above and beyond ! Thank You !!

We had a great stay at Gala Gala. Very warm welcome and pleasant staff, beautiful cottage, very tasty food (our son especially enjoyed the fresh crab), give good tips about activities in the area. We definitely would have liked to stay longer. Maybe we'll come back another time

The local is very ecologic,very friendly and the envirment are very clean and peaceful.its recomended

Me and my wife stayed for 3 nights. We can highly recommend this place. The staff is very friendly and does everything to make sure you are comfortable. Out of many places we visited, this one ranks as one of the best, for its excellent hospitality. If you are traveling trough South Africa and want a short tropical break, definitely pick this place to stay!

This little Mozambique gem, Gala Gala, ticks all the boxes. Bev and Mandy's attention to detail is evident everywhere in this naturally designed eco-lodge. We stayed in one of the 5 luxury campsites, and luxury they are. The sites are authentically reeded, with hot water, lights, and a beautifully mosaic shower, big enough for two. Outside, there's a sink for dishes with hot water and a braai area. The campsites are huge with magnificent trees, and we even had two hornbills and a kingfisher pop in for a visit. There's also a huge pool, which we didn’t get to use this time but will keep in mind for our next visit. The eco-lodge is beautifully laid out, with tropical walkways and fountains where we interrupted a few local birds having a bath. Gala Gala offers dinner and breakfast, pre-booked, and has a quaint pub where you can relax and have a cold one at the end of the day. The eco-lodge also has reeded accommodation, with standard and deluxe options that maintain an upmarket yet authentic feel. We ate at Sapphire Sands, the restaurant attached to Gala Gala, with magnificent views of the sapphire sea and golden sands below. We had the peri peri chicken, chips, and, of course, a local beer to wash it down. This eco-lodge is an escape from the noisy beachfront of Ponta de Oura but is only a 5-minute drive if you want to be part of the action.

We always stay at Gala Gala Eco Lodge when we we visit Ponta D’Ouro. The lodge has a charming, relaxed feel with a variety of accommodation from reeded ensuite rooms to forest cabins and more. We love the relaxed vibe, the cats and dogs that make it feel like home. The breakfasts are lovely and any special requests are easily taken care of. Great coffee! The water is top notch and the wifi is free! A huge thank you to Bev, Mandy, Adrik, Tony, Chico, Elzia and all the kitties and doggies for making our stay so memorable, relaxing and fun! It’s such a special place with such incredible people!

We stayed a week in this resort while diving in Ponta do Ouro. The resort is located close to the coast and the beaches (about one mile away). The rooms are simple with no AC and with mosquito nets over the beds. There is not much intimacy since the bathroom and toilet are next to the bedroom with no isolating door. The breakfast was OK with a few options to choose from. The price is definitely attractive.
