Praia do Sol
Boa vinda a Bilene! Welcome to the beautiful town of Bilene in Mozambique, and more importantly welcome to Praia do Sol Beach Resort.
Established 10 years ago, Praia do Sol Beach Resort has grown from 6 tents to a beautiful beach resort catering for 36 guests, all housed in Luxury Thai-style bungalows. Situated on the spectacular Uembje Lagoon, the Praia do Sol Beach Resort is an ideal family beach resort with safe swimming along the shallow shores and perfect conditions for water sports, like boating.
"The Spirit of Praia Do Sol"
When in Mozambique, one has to sample the local brew! Cold beer comes standard at Praia do Sol! The two most popular brands are Laurentina and 2M – pronounced dosh M.
You’ll find more than just a cold beer in our bar – like Cocktails, Portuguese and South African Wine, Spirits, Refreshments, and a Great Atmosphere!!
Our bar is a social hub – great for sundowners or drinks before dinner. Relax. Chat. Play darts and keep on eye on the outside world with our DSTV linked television. (Also great for sports fans!) So why not sit down, relax and “gostar!
Praia do Sol is not just about the beautiful beaches and scenery. It’s also about the people of Mozambique. As our beach resort has grown, so has its staff – a group of people who have become like a family and most of whom have been with the Praia do Sol Beach Resort since it started some ten years ago.
You will feel blessed and privileged meeting our staff, who are some of the friendliest and most warm hearted people in the world. Our people will look after you. Why don't you and your family join us for for a glorious week or two in Mozambique? There's a cold beer in the fridge waiting for you!

BIRD WATCHING
For those of you who love watching birds, Praia do Sol is your ideal bird watching destination! Mozambique has an astounding variety of birds and with over 100 birds to see at Praia do Sol, you will need several sets of “bush eyes”!
Although bird watching is rewarding no matter the time of day, early morning walks along the lagoon are sure to be a success for any bird watcher. A rarity at that hour is the Palm Nut Vulture, which if you’re lucky, you might see gliding over the lagoon. Another must is an early morning canoe trip where you can float up to Green-Backed Heron and obtain great views of Malachite and Pied Kingfishers.
Whether you are a bird watching enthusiast or just a casual bird watcher, the birds of Mozambique are sure to delight you. However, for those of you who think bird watching is for the birds, there are many other activities that will keep you entertained!
CANOE RENTALS
Canoeing is a superb activity for the whole family! Take a leisurely paddle around the lagoon, or get dropped off up river by our staff and canoe back to Praia do Sol in time for breakfast.
Whilst on the water you will be able to marvel at the phenomenal bird life. And on a clear day, you will be able to see fish swimming below you.
Why not take a relaxing cruise on Uembje lagoon? Pack a few drinks, your costume and sunscreen and enjoy the fine weather Bilene has to offer. Or one better, take a leisurely trip across to the lagoon mouth where you can enjoy a days outing on the beach followed by a sunset ride back on the barge to Praia do Sol.
All rates are on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis and when you join us for breakfast, lunch or supper, you won’t be disappointed - our relaxed restaurant is built on Rhodesian teak wooden decking over looking the San Martino Lake. Relax in the ambience of a tropical beach lifestyle and enjoy a delightfully varied dinner menu prepared each evening. The Portuguese influence is strong in the Mozambican cuisine and a huge variety of freshly prepared dishes awaits your appetite.
Although Mozambique is well regarded for its fish dishes, why not be daring and try something new like Portuguese chicken and Espetada! And remember to ask for the Praia do Sol Chilli Sauce. It’s Amazing! Fresh fruit, cereals and cooked breakfasts await you each morning and for those who would like a mid-day meal, we have lunch snacks and a mini-pizza oven to satisfy your appetite. Provision can be made for Vegetarians.Rates
