Sulula (formerly Anvil Bay) sits deep inside Maputo National Park in southern Mozambique, where coastal forest runs down to five kilometres of private beach. The villas, built by the Chemucane community without felling a single tree, are well spaced along the coast, each with its own beachfront sala and most with a private pool. Snorkel the reef just offshore, watch for nesting turtles and passing whales, then take a dhow across the reserve’s lake at sunset as the hippos surface. Elephants roam the wider park, and with no set itinerary, your butler host shapes each day around you.
