Colina Verde

About the Private Home

Set on the remote Machangulo Peninsula in southern Mozambique, Colina Verde offers a singular escape far removed from everyday life, and the perfect base from which to explore one of Africa’s most beautiful and secluded corners. Wake each morning to views over the Indian Ocean from your luxurious seven-bedroom home away from home. Immerse yourself in the peace and beauty of the natural surroundings, while enjoying the highest levels of comfort. A private chef and an experienced management couple ensure every detail is effortlessly taken care of. At the heart of the house lies a large oval heated swimming pool, complete with a whirlpool and shaded bar. Savour your morning coffee as the sun rises over the sea, then dine al fresco on one of the expansive terraces. Every room is individually designed. Colina Verde is a perfect rustic-luxe retreat for families and groups of friends.

Kids & Teens

Colina Verde delights younger guests with experiences that bring together fun and adventure. Children and teenagers can let loose sandboarding down the dramatic dunes or heading out on exhilarating beach bike rides along the coast. For more active pursuits, the villa’s tennis courts and table tennis provide plenty of variety, while picnics and snorkelling excursions offer additional highlights. Nature walks give younger guests a playful introduction to the wildlife and flora of the Machangulo Peninsula.

Experiences & Activities

Colina Verde’s exclusive setting lends itself to unforgettable experiences, from snorkelling above vibrant coral reefs to guided kayak journeys through the mangrove forests. Guests can discover the local culture on village tours or take in the dramatic scenery on fat-bike adventures. Extraordinary experiences such as whale watching, turtle watching and day trips to the Maputo Special Reserve can also be arranged. Those in search of relaxation can enjoy spa treatments or simply immerse themselves in the unspoilt natural surroundings of the villa.
