Villa Martins, Inhaca, Mozambique

Schoon, hygiënisch

Veel te duur

The Villa Martins is a hidden secret of getaways in Mozambique! Absolute value for money, exceptionally friendly and competent staff, wonderful food with fresh ingredients caught locally from the sea, and well looked after all round. The rooms and amenities were perfectly clean and well maintained - with a large freshwater pool in the central area. A perfect family getaway. And a good range of activities on offer - most are free of charge - snorekelling, wonderful walks on open flats at low tide, visits to the local village with great bars and restaurants. A photographers' paradise!

Our stay was too short!

Perfect getaway outside of Maputo if you need to stay in peace and quiet. It has everything you need including food, drinks, modern rooms.

The gym is private use only. I do need to workout. We waited 1 hour standing on the beach for the boat to take us back.

Everything is good, staff were very nice, very clean

Just there is no facility for self catering or basic grill, Atleast grill facility must be provided so that we spend more time outside

Comfortable room with good shower, very friendly staff (esp. Jacob), the snorkeling trip to Santa Maria Beach was great (lots of colorful fish + they provided a seat with cover / shade from the sun), hotel breakfast was very good but also food from the a-la-carte menu was tasty, loved reading my book from the hammock, property was able to arrange boat transfers and taxis.

The coastline / mangroves around the property have some plastic waste (not the property's fault), it's not a short walk to Inhaca's main sights such as Santa Maria Beach or the oceanfront and therefore requires a boat ride.

A qualidade do hotel A comida era gostosa e não era cara O ambiente tranquilo Os empregados gentis

A truly nice hotel, on a lovely island. Clean and secure, with great staff who go to the ends to help - especially to set up activities like boats to Santa Maria Beach. Excellent food.

Can't think of anything. All good.

My family and I loved everything about our weekend at the "Vila Martins" on Inhaca Island – the experience exceeded all our expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly and always available. They took us by boat to a quieter beach with a coral reef, perfect for snorkeling. The food was also excellent – well-prepared and full of flavor. It was a memorable weekend, ideal for those looking for relaxation and a close connection with nature.

I honestly can’t thA perfect weekend escape filled with relaxation, great food, and warm hospitality

We loved our stay at Villa Martins - everything was extremely well organised, right from the boat transfers, visit to the marine reserve, all the meals and right up to the last boat transfer back to Maputo. The two highlights - definitely the food prepared freshly each day by the team (amazing tuna and prawn dishes!) as well as the friendliness of the team and how they would go out of their way to assist - the case in point, a special boat trip to see dolphins and whales and a visit to the local Inhaca Village (with meal at Lucas) with our guide Carlos, and all organised by Monique and the team. Thank you and will definitely recommend !
