About Mogundula island

A tiny island paradise that's all yours for the taking
Quite possibly the most beautiful island in the Quirimbas Archipelago, Mogundula is an uninhabited tropical idyll covering just 21 hectares and fringed by talcum-powder sands and lapping turquoise waves. Staying here is a real castaway experience; there's no wi-fi, no TV, and in fact, not very many people either. But what you will find are five eco-chic villas surrounded by stunning coral atolls, a beautiful lake, and a feeding and nesting ground for sea turtles, dugong, dolphins and whales. There aren't many places in the world that feel so remotely luxurious, or as luxuriously remote as Mogundula, that's for sure.

Property details

The property

The main areas on the island are positioned to take advantage of the shimmering ocean views, yet hidden among the tropical flora for privacy and shade. The dining areas are both covered and alfresco, and winding walkways lead down to secluded coves, romantic salas, and private treehouses for dining with a difference.

The rooms

Each of the five villas is an elegant blend of traditional teak, coral stone and sparkling glass. Their interiors are air-conditioned by a state-of-the-art solar system to minimise any impact on the environment, and stack-away doors open onto large, sun-drenched decks. Outside each villa is a mini splash pool, seductive sunloungers and swaying hammocks.

Activities

Stir yourself between sun-lounging and cocktail-sipping and take to the water, snorkelling straight off the beach, or diving one of the unspoiled coral reefs – keep an eye open for dolphins and even whales. And if you don't spot them through your mask, head out on a sunset dhow cruise for the best sightings. Back on land, wander through the forests of chestnut trees and visit the sacred lake (so-called by the local people) and the marine turtle nesting site.
