About Casa Cabana Beach

Self-catering cabanas in Vilanculos - good value and great vibes
Casa Cabana Beach lies on the outskirts of Vilanculos, one of the larger towns on Mozambique's coast. Although it's surrounded by a couple of other developments, the hotel itself has access to a private, (and rather beautiful) stretch of beach. This is one of the most magical parts of the Indian Ocean, and the cabanas look over the powdery, sand beach, and the calm waters of the Indian Ocean to the Bazaruto Archipelago beyond. Casa Cabana isn't quite the exclusive, private island resort that Mozambique is best known for, but instead it offers a more sociable scene that's particularly attractive for younger travellers - and you get a lot of bang for your buck too.

Property details

The property

The bar is the heart of the hotel, and you can sip your drink on the wrap-around patio right on the edge of the beach, or on one of the shady benches in the sand outside. Adjoining the bar, the simple restaurant serves up straight-from-the-ocean fish day and night. Two upstairs lounges have several cushioned chairs and benches (and a couple of hammocks for a siesta snooze!) and they look down onto the pretty gardens and swimming pool. There's also a tour desk to take care of activity bookings and transport tickets if you need them.

The rooms

The rooms at Casa Cabana are designed to be self-catering and each has a small kitchen with kettle, fridge and all the required extras. And if you don't fancy cooking, head to the restaurant for a kilo of Mozambican prawns! The two upstairs cabanas have two bedrooms and are ideal for families or two couples sharing (if one couple doesn't mind a bunk bed...), whilst the downstairs cabanas have only one bedroom. All have air-con (very welcome), ensuite bathrooms and mozzie nets. There's also a two bedroom, Mexican-themed 'Manor House' with a huge private deck and plunge pool.

Activities

There are plenty of activities to keep you busy at Casa Cabana. Snorkelling equipment is available for hire and it's easy enough to go by yourself from the beach, but if you fancy diving, you'll have to go through an operator with a boat. Deep-sea fishing usually yields some impressive (and yummy) catches, and windsurfing will certainly get the adrenaline pumping, as will kitesurfing. Bikes are available for rent, and you can cycle the three kilometres into town. Alternatively, take one of the hotel's canoes out for a paddle (free of charge), or just kick back and relax on the pearly sand.
