Vila Sands
Villa Sands: A Boutique Hotel on Mozambique Island
Villa Sands is a charming boutique hotel situated on the western beach of Mozambique Island. In 1991, Ilha de Moçambique was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized for its unique blend of African, Arab, and European influences.
As you walk through the island, you’ll discover a rich mix of monuments, mosques, churches, and even a Hindu temple. The spirit of Ilha de Moçambique is shaped by centuries as a trading post, where people of diverse origins peacefully coexisted. The island’s history is reflected in the shifting authority—from Arabs to Portuguese colonizers, and finally to Mozambicans after independence in 1975.
Once the capital of Portuguese East Africa, Ilha de Moçambique is home to colonial architecture, lively street markets, and delicious cuisine. The island also offers long, untouched beaches with incredible snorkeling and diving opportunities just minutes away.
Stretching three kilometers long and 500 meters wide, Ilha de Moçambique is a slender strip of golden sand set against the vibrant emerald waters of the Indian Ocean, making it a perfect destination for relaxation and exploration.
