Sheltered on a remote peninsula about an hour by speedboat from Maputo, Machangulo offers island-like seclusion but without the need for internal flights. An elevated position on the sand dunes gives spectacular views over pristine beaches and the azure sea, whilst at lower levels, walkways meander through the cool coastal forest creating a natural secluded feel.

There are plenty of activities that can be booked including kayaking from the shore, scuba diving and snorkelling boat trips, tours to Inhaca village or the capital, Maputo. For wildlife enthusiasts, there are boat tours to explore the mangroves to look for turtles and numerous bird species including flamingos.

Rooms have a private deck offering views over the ocean and Inhaca Island. There is air-conditioning, fridge and free WiFi.
