Villa Sands

Tranquil and lovely, Villa Sands is beautifully located at a short distance from the old town by the water in Ilha de Mozambique, one of the world’s UNESCO World Heritage Site as declared in 1991. Unique in character and atmosphere the Island embraces a mixture of the dominant African, Arab, and European cultures all living together in harmony. Take a walk on the Island and check out different ancient monuments, mosques, churches, and Hindu Temple. The Island has been a trading point for centuries where people from different walks of life met and lived together in peace although power moved from the Arabs to Portuguese before Independence in 1975 to Mozambiquans. Situated on the Mozambican coast is the beautiful and elegant hotel, Villa Sands. Rich in culture and history, Villa Sands is the perfect place to explore the historical Ilha de Mozambique.
