The 5 bedroom house benefits from the sea breeze that channels its way through the bay ensuring you stay cool even through the hottest of Mozambican summers.

Activities
There's something for everyone from adrenaline rush kite-boarding to simply sunning yourself by the plunge pool with a good book. We can arrange for dhow trips to picnic on the islands, game fishing or scuba diving in some of the most beautiful waters in the Indian Ocean.
DIVING
Just off the coast of Vilanculos lie some of the most pristine waters of the Indian Ocean. Visibility can be as far as 30 metres (98 feet) especially in the winter months and be prepared to have many encounters with the friendly Marine life!
KITE SURFING
For those looking for a more adventurous escape, take advantage of the winds surrounding the archipelago and immerse yourself in a full day of Kiting. After, grab yourself a cold one and mingle with the friendly locals at the best bar in town, Casbah, right next to the Kite Club.
LOCAL DHOWS
From the living room, watch the dhows skim across the Indian Ocean, sourcing the freshest seafood. As the day unwinds, head down to the local beach, just as the fisherman come in, to grab yourself something for the braai/BBQ!
