Relax and unwind in luxurious style

Machangulo Beach Villa

Our Villa is situated in a stunning, secluded beachfront location, in the Marine Reserve area of The Maputo National Park, on a peninsula due East of the capital, Maputo. The eastern border of the peninsula is on the Indian Ocean, with Maputo Bay on the West.  Maputo National Park lies to the south, this beautiful nature reserve is home to herds of elephant, buffalo, abundant birdlife and magnificent inland lakes, with resident hippos and thousands of flamingoes. The villa is an hour (by boat) from Maputo Marina.

We are located along a 16km stretch of pristine sandy beach, with just a few other villas, distantly scattered in the area. Guests can take long coastal strolls, often enjoying complete solitude. The beautiful coastal riverine bush, lies behind the sand dunes and is home to abundant birdlife and some small game. Whilst the location is remote, the accommodation is luxurious. The villa is perfect for guests seeking peace and quiet, most just lie back, relax and watch the passing whale migration (mid July to November)  playful dolphins, or you may be lucky enough to see Loggerhead or Leatherback Turtles on the sand.   For those seeking some local interaction, they can head to the local village of Santa Maria (approx. 40 min drive) where there is a lovely beachfront restaurant, serving delicious seafood.
