Island Rock Resort is a self-catering resort at Jangamo, on the coast south of Inhambane. It sits in coastal forest above the dunes and combines reed-and-grass casitas, brick-built lapas and a large campsite area.
Best for
Island Rock Resort suits self-catering families, groups and campers who want a choice of casitas, group lapas or campsites close to the beach.
It suits travellers wanting serviced hotel-style rooms or an on-site restaurant less well, since the property is entirely self-catering.
Location
The resort sits at Jangamo, in coastal forest above the dunes south of Inhambane. In a straight line it is about 10.4 km south of our Cabo Guinjata reference point.
Rooms and style at Island Rock Resort
Accommodation includes reed-and-grass casitas: three two-bed units and one disability-accessible unit (each with private hot water and a kitchen, sharing ablutions), one eight-bed unit with cold water only, and twenty-two four-bed units, all with kitchens. Two group lapas are also offered: Lapa Orca (five units of four single beds each) and Lapa Lagosta (five units of one double plus three singles each, with individual shower and toilet). A campsite area has 35 sites, including two large communal sites for about 20 people each and sites suited to vehicles with rooftop tents.
Facilities at Island Rock Resort
Verified facilities include kitchens, gas stoves and cooking equipment in the casitas and lapas, communal kitchens with fridges and utensils for lapa guests, and electrical outlets and borehole water at the campsites. The property fronts a beach with a reef system around 3 km offshore and states safe launching for boats and canoes.
Trade-offs and what to know
The official site does not state room rates, meal options or check-in and check-out times, so these need confirming directly.
Some casita and lapa units share ablution facilities rather than having private en-suites, which may not suit all travellers.
Getting there and getting around
Jangamo is reached by road from Inhambane and the surrounding coastal towns; the source does not state whether a 4×4 is needed for the final stretch to the resort.
