This island paradise is part of the Quirimbas Archipelago, a chain of 28 islands, 11 of which are coral islands. Here, untouched nature, rich marine life, and total tranquility await you.

If you’re looking to unplug and reconnect, Situ Island offers the perfect setting. Whether you’re seeking rest, rejuvenation, or an adventurous journey, this island delivers it all.

Experience Nature, Adventure, and Relaxation

At Situ Island, nature takes center stage. Dive into crystal-clear waters, discover vibrant coral reefs, or cast a line into some of the best fishing spots in the region. Back on land, enjoy your own private slice of beach. No crowds. No noise. Just peace.

When you’re ready to unwind, retreat to your eco-friendly accommodation. Our rooms are designed for comfort while respecting the island’s natural surroundings. Every meal features locally sourced ingredients, bringing you the freshest flavors of Mozambique.

Eco-Friendly Living, Unmatched Serenity

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our resort runs on a state-of-the-art solar power system. This means you can enjoy your stay with zero generator noise—just the soothing sounds of the ocean and the calls of island wildlife.

We also operate a desalination plant to provide clean, fresh water. To conserve resources, we ask guests to capture the water while waiting for showers to warm. Every drop matters here, and our guests embrace the chance to make a difference.

Silence, Stars, and True Island Luxury

As the sun sets, the sky comes alive. Thanks to our solar battery backup, evening lighting is soft and silent. With no artificial noise, you’ll fall asleep to the gentle rhythm of the waves and wake up to nature’s chorus.

At Situ Island Resort, you won’t just visit an island—you’ll become a part of its soul. If you’re seeking a private island retreat with eco-conscious values and authentic experiences, Situ is your ultimate destination.

Accomodation

Authentic Island-Style Accommodation

At Situ Island Resort, our accommodation blends rustic charm with modern comfort. Each of the eight beachfront chalets is thoughtfully positioned to offer breathtaking ocean views just steps from the shore. Whether you’re waking up to sunrise over the water or watching the stars appear over the Indian Ocean, your chalet becomes your private sanctuary.

Relax in Rustic Luxury

Designed with comfort and simplicity in mind, each chalet features a king-size bed or three three-quarter beds, all draped in elegant mosquito nets for peaceful nights. Locally crafted bamboo cupboards and handmade side tables enhance the island’s “Robinson Crusoe” feel while still providing essential conveniences.

Inside, the en-suite bathrooms include a shower, toilet, and basin—perfect for refreshing after a day in the sun. Each chalet is serviced daily, so you can focus on relaxing, not tidying.

Laid-Back Living at the Clubhouse

Centrally located and designed with a sandy floor and thatched roof, the Clubhouse is the heart of the resort. Here, guests gather for delicious meals, storytelling, and shared adventures. Whether it’s breakfast at sunrise or dinner by lantern light, the atmosphere remains warm and welcoming.

All day long, help yourself to complimentary tea and coffee. Sink into a hammock or a beach chair, and watch as divers and fishermen return, full of stories from the vibrant reefs and fishing grounds just offshore.

Refresh at the Honesty Bar

When the sun is high, cool off with a drink from the Honesty Bar. Stocked with a mix of local favorites and international labels, the bar is a popular spot to unwind after a day of island exploration.
