Luxury villas with ocean views

The lodge offers delightful wooden villas with thatched roofs, surrounded by a lush palm oasis, and boasting stunning views of the Indian Ocean and Bazaruto Island. The villas come fully equipped with air conditioning and a kitchen for self-catering purposes. Inside you will find marble showers and wooden-style decoration. You can park your car or boat underneath the villa's. We think it are the best villa's in Vilankulo's. Aren't they stunning?

The villa's at Ocean Pearl Resort all have their own entrance and provide plenty of space for a large family.

The seaview villa's are provided with a balcony that overlooks the ocean and mangrove. As the tide varies a lot you can wake up with the ocean next to the shore, or miles of coloured sand. No worries. Both are excellent.

Camping at Ocean Pearl

Ocean Pearl provides an excellent camping area for overlanders or campers, complete with brand-new ablutions that include hot showers and power plug points. It's the best WIFI we have found in all of Mozambique at a resort. So it's the perfect place to recharge,  upload your photos into the cloud or have a video call with your family and friends back home. All this while enjoying the most beautiful beaches.

This was our camping spot for 3 nights. Right under the palm trees. How amazing is that!

Which activities can you do?

Ocean Pearl Resort offers a series of activities mostly focused on water activities including:

  • Jetski's
  • Snorkeling trips to Bazaruto
  • Waterski and other water sports
  • Fishing charters
  • Free kayak tours
  • Beach horse riding
