Colina Verde, Machangulo Peninsula

Recharge and Relax at Colina Verde Villa Santa Maria Peninsula

Wherever you are in the amazing Colina Verde villa, you absorb infinite and panoramic views of the surrounding Santa Maria Peninsula in all its blues, greens, whites and browns.  This essential breakaway venue was the brainchild of people who love Mozambique, its environment and its people. A Mozambique luxury beach villa, Colina Verde is on the Santa Maria Peninsula and close to Maputo. We book packages, flights and transfers to Colina Verde.

Join us to experience this sanctuary where you can disconnect from technology and connect with yourself and your loved ones in a beautiful natural setting. Visitors feel right at home in an exclusive-use house that comes with a cleaning service, cooks, maintenance staff, drivers and activity experts. It’s good to feel part of a warm, hospitable community that loves meeting international tourists and turning them into friends for life.

Community and conservation drive the successful ecotourism principles at Colina Verde Villa. One of the most exciting activities is the fish tagging and monitoring projects – every fish a guest catches is tagged and released through the in-house tagging programme. Some fish have been rehooked and all tagging data has been collated in a scientific paper on how Giant Trevally move between South Africa and Mozambique. The lodge owners also participate in a scientific project to tag apex predators with acoustic tags and track the fish using special receivers. Guests can offer to fund acoustic tags and help catch and tag apex predators! This kind of niche tourism is good for the marine environment and for tourists who learn more about the importance of conservation. 

Colina Verde assists the local community to access healthcare in their remote Machangulo village and they work according to a “We are together” motto. Every visitor contributes to community projects simply by being there on a dream holiday in Mozambique.
