With only 6 stunning rooms nestled on Tofo Beach, the boutique Baia Sonambula Guest House is the most idyllic, stylish hideaway one could find in popular Tofu. Combining the best of French chic with Mozambican heritage, every detail is carefully thought of to offer guests the most sumptuous stay. 
 
Privacy and exclusivity come guaranteed thanks to just 6 rooms and a location that is just 150 metres from the action (restaurants, bars and dive centre) but the guest house still feels like a secluded retreat, nestled behind whitewashed walls overflowing with bougainvillea overlooking Tofo Bay, just 30 metres from the waves.  

Book a minimum of 6 nights and enjoy relaxing and enjoying what Tofo has to offer. Our special price includes accommodation with a stunning sea view over the bay and the most mouthwatering homemade breakfast, best enjoyed on the roof terrace overlooking the waves.  
 
Why Tofo? The most popular activities to enjoy in Tofo are scuba diving, ocean safaris, surfing, quad biking, dhow tours, kayaking, deep fishing, horse riding etc. However, when you check into the guesthouse you’ll be forgiven for never wanting to leave and simply relax.
