General Information:

Nuarro’s guests are welcomed in a very special reception area positioned at the top of the dune to reveal the magnificent Memba bay in small doses. This building leads to the Beach Bar and Marine Activity Centre. From here our visitors can enjoy the bush lined walkways to their chalets, take the beach route or be driven, if more convenient. There is a safe room for storage of valuables and luggage storage room. A computer for internet access is available. Next to the reception is the office area, where managers are available at all times to attend to any need.

Responsible Tourism:

During its construction, skilled builders, carpenters and electricians were employed to assist in the training of the local unskilled people, so that they will have the chance to empower themselves and improve their livelihoods. Land, time, skills, enthusiasm and energy were invested. In return Nuarro brings to its neighbours and partners greater financial security, a multi-functional community centre, agricultural projects, entrepreneurial opportunities and general social development. Based on an established memorandum, the Community’s association (ANAN) is going to receive a fee for each overnight stay and each motorised activity.
