Visit nearby Inhambane for a touch of local colour.
The old Portuguese architecture and tropical surroundings of Inhambane Town make the town a historical must-see for every tourist. The town of Inhambane is only a 30 minute drive from the resort and offers a daily food market, restaurants and other sight-seeing spots. What makes the town unique is its heritage. Inhambane is one of the oldest towns in Southern Africa .

As Vasco da Gama rounded Africa in the late 1400s he sailed into the beautiful bay of Inhambane to replenish stocks and to explore. The explorer fell in love with the area and named it “Terra de Boa Gente” - land of the friendly, gentle people. Forty years later the Portuguese established a trading post and settled in Mozambique . Inhambane was an important port, and still has a large fleet of working dhows.
