Book

Private bungalows provide over a thousand square feet of personal space surrounded by nature. Each suite includes indoor and outdoor bathing facilities and generous waterfront verandahs. Mozambican vernacular architecture weaves a natural canopy above billowing mosquito nets. Large apertures allow the colors of an ever-changing landscape to permeate the space. Rooms are dressed with furniture created and carved onsite and thoughtfully collected artisanal pieces from sub-Saharan Africa.
