Bahia Mar Projects
Bahia Mar, not just an hotel...
With an ethos of responsible tourism, Bahia Mar strives to address the many challenges this presents,
especially in this fairly remote area of Mozambique with its developing infrastructure.
Responsibility, linked to sustainability, is our focus, and to this end we make every effort to minimize any negative social, economic, and environmental impact the hotel may have, whilst providing upliftment for the community as a whole.
Our efforts include empathetic human resource management linked to training and sponsorship of community projects.
We endeavour to source as much product as we can locally and always ensure the products we use are low-impact and environmentally friendly. Our waste is sorted and recycled, our predominantly indigenous gardens are water-sensitive, and our guests are encouraged to participate in our endeavours — many do!
Bahia Mar is proud to be the only hotel in Mozambique certified by Fair Trade Tourism (FTT),
a recognition of our commitment to ethical, responsible, and sustainable travel.
