Why we Love Loggerhead Beach Villa

Flawless suites and rooms made for 6 couples in dreamy luxury abodes where every mod con provides respite from stress and city life, deliberately creating a healing haven of introspection and health.

Taking the name of extraordinary migrating sea creatures that live in their shells and lay their eggs on the white sands, the villa is just that, a rare creature arising from the dunes to rest in nature, alive and charismatic.

Feast on mouth-watering foods created by highly trained chefs who encourage guests to savour every minute of their meals, every nuance of every flavour and every delicate course.

You simply never get over the views, so stupendous, so unbelievably gorgeous and so almost unreal, of the ocean, the forests, the dunes, the white beaches, the bays….

Welcome to this brand-new Mozambique beach villa, magnificent eco home siting high in the dune forests of the Santa Maria Peninsula in the unknown magical Machangulo Nature Reserve. Mozambique villas have never known such luxury, such regal nuance such exotic décor. For unmatched sophistication, utter seclusion in nature and facilities beyond world class, book your suite in a destination reserved for nature lovers who love the glamourous touch to a Mozambique holiday.

Enjoy the villas in Santa Maria for your holiday of a lifetime. Your private luxury villa awaits, sleeping 12 in chic style and perfect for families and groups and one of our best Mozambique Beach Villas by far. What an inspiring name for an inspiring destination in nature – Loggerhead turtles are gorgeous endangered marine reptiles found in the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans coming ashore to lay their eggs in the sands. 

How sad that the Loggerhead turtle is threatened by discarded fishing equipment and plastic waste, while eggs are vulnerable to predators and human development along all coastlines. Insightful conservation efforts at Loggerhead Villa aim to protect these incredible animals and your very booking is a commitment to the conservation of all wildlife in this private Mozambique nature reserve.

Mozambique Villas in the Machangulo Special Nature Reserve near Maputo

Set off on long walks and hikes into the Machangulo Special Reserve, camera at the ready to snap plants, birds, water and forests, while gasping in awe at the wealth of life around you! Plan a boat cruise to Inhaca Island, natural heritage site brimming with indigenous and rare animals and plants, including a lush forest, clean corals and shipwrecks nearby. Take your snorkelling kit and enjoy a sumptuous picnic lunch in a deserted cove somewhere astounding. 

Elephants, buffalos, hippos, rare antelope and flamingos are a sight for sore eyes in the heart of the surreal Machangulo Special Reserve, a reminder that the Maputo National Park is also just up the road and another haven of biodiversity that needs ongoing protection.

At Loggerhead Beach Villa, adventure awaits – snorkelling in the clearest of ocean waves to find the most weird and wonderful corals and seaweeds, fish and shells. Jump on a kayak, go surf a wave or wander down to an activity centre to try a kite surfing thrill or a whale watching boat cruise. Pedal hard on a beach fat bike to explore long white beaches where only you and a few birds seem to exist for that moment in paradise. In our top 3 of best value Mozambique Beach Villas.

Many guests like to experience a scuba dive and others like to hook a game fish on a deep-sea fishing expedition.

Calm down in the evenings around the fire and take on a new friend at table tennis or darts, play a board game until late and shoot pool until the stars are way above you in the stark glitzy heavens.
