Ilha Azul is a holiday house on South Road at Ponta do Ouro, on the village side of the headland in Mozambique’s southernmost corner. It is taken as a whole property, with a private pool, a garden and barbecue facilities, and is a short distance from both the village and the beach. Ilha Azul is aimed at groups who want to cook and swim on their own terms.
Best for
Ilha Azul suits families and groups of friends who want a private house with a pool and a braai area within walking distance of the village
It suits travellers who want catering, a bar or organised diving from the property less well, since none of that is provided
Location
The house is on South Road at Ponta do Ouro, on the southern side of the village. In a straight line it is about 250 m west of our Ponta do Ouro village reference point, which makes the shops, dive centres and restaurants an easy walk, and the main beach access only a little further. The surroundings are private plots and coastal bush.
Rooms and style at Ilha Azul
The property is a holiday house let as a whole and is non-smoking throughout. The number of bedrooms, the bed layout, the number of bathrooms and the kitchen inventory are not set out in the available listing, so establish the sleeping capacity and what the kitchen holds with the owner before booking for a group.
Facilities at Ilha Azul
Verified facilities include a private swimming pool, a garden, barbecue facilities, free WiFi, free parking and non-smoking accommodation. There is no restaurant, bar or breakfast service, so meals are prepared at the house or taken in the village; buy supplies before you settle in, as village shops are small.
Trade-offs and what to know
Nothing is catered, so all meals are your own arrangement
Bedroom numbers and sleeping capacity are not published and need confirming
Check-in closes at 16:00, which is early if you are coming through the border the same day
Getting there and getting around
Ponta do Ouro is reached overland from the Kosi Bay border post with South Africa or by road south from Maputo, and the village streets are sand. The listing does not state the vehicle requirement, so ask the owner whether a four-wheel drive is needed for the approach to South Road. Free parking is provided at the house.
