The lodge consists of 5 ensuite bungalows of about 45 m² each, all of them enjoying beautiful views of the Indian Ocean. The bathrooms and the spacious cupboards are separate from the sleeping area. The spacious king beds are under a massive mosquito net; and due to the size of the rooms we can add a small single bed for a small child. All rooms have air conditioning and a small fridge.

A 6th ensuite room can be added to your booking. The room is situated above owner's house and is also completely independent with incredible sunrise and sunset views.

Our 2 catamarans, a Supercat 38’ and an ELF26’, can take you to discover the Bazaruto archipelago or to enjoy a day out fishing. If you bring your own boat the property has its own ramp and there are a couple of tractors close by ready for assistance.
We are Yvette and Luis, and we are one of the few owners living full-time on the property making sure everything is functional and helping with any need that can arise. We moved to Mozambique some 7 years ago and built the place of our dreams, which we would like to share with you.

Very self-explanatory. A venue will be listed under this category if they offer a specific luxury, private honeymoon suite or because our admin has "hand-picked" the establishment to be perfect for such an occasion based on their location and facilities offered. However, you are the best judge when it comes to planning that special getaway with your loved one anyway. Pssst ... and it doesn't have to be expensive either to enjoy, right?!
