Far from the maddening crowds, Ponta Mamoli Resort is a secluded holiday destination in the southern Mozambique context and is located only 25 kilometres from the Kosi Bay border post with South Africa. Whether it is diving on exclusive reefs, deep-sea fishing, horse riding, snorkelling and splendid beach meanders or just lazing by our sparkling pool, this is the place to be.

The setting is breath taking and it is easy to understand why The Getaway Magazine aptly named Mamoli in their top 20 beaches of Southern Africa feature in December 2003.

Nestled in the most awesome, completely undeveloped bay along this coastline and within stepping distance from the sea, guests immediately experience the serenity and sheer beauty of the location with magnificent beach and wetland views. Ponta Mamoli is truly an escape from the hustle and bustle of the pressured modern day existence.

Ponta Mamoli Resort has been nominated for a World Travel Award 2010.

Your stay at Ponta Mamoli Resort includes breakfast and dinner daily.

Open Air Restaurant: The restaurant is built on the small hilltop, with stunning views over the beach and bay area to the front and over a lily covered lake to the rear.

Guests sit outside on the large covered wooden deck, overlooking the swimming pool, taking in the fresh sea breeze. 2 meals a day are served.

The pub is built to offer some of the best views in the world, allowing guests to soak in those beautiful African sunsets, or even sip an early morning cup of coffee as the sun rises over the warm Indian Ocean.

Bar: A fully stocked bar with ice cold drinks and beers. We stock a wide variety of SA and Local Mozambican beers, wine and spirits. The famous local rum Tipitento is also available. This is the ideal place to sit for sundowners. Many drinks have been had here while watching the sun go down.

Reservation of the local area is a prime objective around Ponta Mamoli Resort, with precision planning and consideration given to protecting the environment to retain the natural appeal. It is for this reason that quad bikes, off road motor bikes and jet skis are not allowed.

The surrounding locale is a varied mosaic of rare ecosystems - magnificent unspoilt expanses of beach, endemic rich woody grasslands, dry savannas, swamp forests, freshwater coastal lakes and floodplains characterised by expanses of reed beds, bulrushes and papyrus.

In the nearby Maputo Special Reserve, previously endangered Elephant populations as a result of indiscriminate hunting pressures during the war are increasing at a pleasing rate and now estimated at well over 200. Elephant activity has recently been noted within two kilometres of the Resort.

Hippo, crocodiles and a variety of small buck including red duiker, suni, reedbuck and inyala can be seen on scenic drives to local sunset spots like Lake Piti, a massive freshwater lake.

The location has been recommended as an important bird area - IBA - due to the presence of an increasing variety of bird life, including near endemic and rare bird species.

Extraordinarily rich in diversity with varying topography and a multitude of marine animals to observe, the extensive coral reefs at Ponta Mamoli are pristine and the diving is exclusive - we can guarantee no other boats or dive groups even at the ever popular Bass City!

Beach Activities: Sharing our piece of beach with only with the birds, crabs, and the local fisherman, our peaceful beach offers many pleasures to the our guests. You will almost feel alone out there while rock and surf fishing, catching on fly, surfing the waves or kite boarding.

Southern Mozambique is definitely for the adventurer.
