This resort is designed with the local environment in mind and boasts many green features, such as use of local sustainable materials, low energy usage, biogas generation and sustainable water systems. We proudly grow our own vegetables, we have chickens that provide our restaurant with fresh eggs and all our restaurant waste goes to our two greedy pigs.
You might even be lucky enough to spot some of our wildlife such as bush babies, duiker, monkeys, squirrels and of course you will definitely see our donkeys who maintain the landscape and act like great lawnmowers! Oh, and we have an array of wild birdlife for the avid bird watchers.
Our Meadow Chalets are lovely single room units which have just recently been built and furnished with luxury beds and linen for a very comfortable stay. Our chalets have an en-suite bathroom and the units are equipped with neat kitchenettes including all the basic equipment you will need (fridge, stove, microwave, etc).

Each tent is fitted with a king size bed (or 2 singles), closet space, a tea/coffee station, luxuriously soft white bed linen, electricity, braai facilities and you have your very own private toilet and shower.
Our Luxury Sky View Tents are nestled in amongst an ancient and unspoiled tropical dune forest on the Ponta Malongane Ridge. Positioned on the edge of the mountain, you can enjoy the splendid views of the Ponta Malongane beach and get lost in the glorious vastness of the Indian Ocean!

Sky Island Resort is a brand new, world-class paragliding resort built on top of a 70m high coastal ridge in Southern Mozambique. With two launch sites facing our two predominant winds, one facing North-East and the other facing East, the site is suitable for pilots of all skill levels and is the ideal site for beginners. Our prime flying season is from January to May; with March being optimum where you can expect flying 8 out of 10 days.
Our restaurant overlooks the East take-off site and has breath taking views of the ocean!
Sky Island Resort is located right above the Ponta Malongane bay. There is a scenic foot path that leads down to the main beach where you can enjoy snorkelling in our natural rock pools during low tide. And if you want to indulge a little deeper... you can book a scuba dive and explore some of the world's most magnificent scuba diving reefs. You can also experience a memorable interaction swim with wild dolphins by going on an Ocean Safari.
We are situated in Ponta Malongane which is a lovely small village where you can shop for local arts & crafts, indulge in local cuisine and experience African culture first-hand.
With our spectacular view of the ocean, it is the perfect backdrop for when the bride and groom says their "I do's". Please pop us an email to enquire about our packages.

For better understanding, we have put together a brief summary guide of what each category means and to also give you an idea of what each associated icon refers to when you see them on listings & adverts.
Listed in alphabetical order

If an establishment has this icon, this means they either include breakfast in their rates or offer the opportunity for you to choose to include breakfast during your stay which is usually served to guests in an on-site breakfast room dinette or restaurant. Some B&B's offer basic / light (continental) breakfasts, Full English breakfasts or buffet style breakfast options.

Full Board means breakfast, lunch and dinner (also known as "All Inclusive"). If a venue is listed under this category, then they either offer guests the choice of a full board meal plan during their stay or their rates by default include full board meals. a lot of these establishments will have private personal chefs serving guests top class cuisine.
Because this is a popular search and request amongst many, we have created this specific category for exactly that - group accommodation which is very much the same as our Holiday Homes category. These are establishments that can cater and accommodate for large groups of 8 people and up in the same house / unit offering most self catering facilities as if you are "home away from home".
Similar to a typical B&B, a Guest House is usually a private house offering very few accommodation units all within the main building structure (or some seperately). Some serve home cooked meals within their in-house dining room specially catered to seat all their guests and offer a lounge area where fellow travellers can interact, socialize and share stories.
This type of accommodation is usually ideal for large groups of people going on holiday being a "home away from home" with numerous bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen for your self catering needs, lounge, toilets, braai/BBQ area, some with a swimming pool and some offering exclusive privacy.
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?!
