Planet Scuba Guest House is a small guest house in Ponta do Ouro, on Mozambique’s far southern coast close to the South African border. It stands a short walk from the beach and shares its site with the Gozo Azul Dive Centre, so most guests are divers or snorkellers using Planet Scuba Guest House as a base for time in the water.
Best for
Planet Scuba Guest House suits divers and snorkellers who want simple air-conditioned rooms attached to a working dive operation and a short walk from the beach.
It suits guests wanting a large resort with an extensive on-site leisure programme less well, since the emphasis here is on diving rather than a wide range of activities.
Location
The guest house sits in the village of Ponta do Ouro, close to the beach and within walking distance of the village centre. In a straight line it is about 727 m north of our Ponta do Ouro village reference point.
Rooms and style at Planet Scuba Guest House
Planet Scuba Guest House offers air-conditioned double, twin and triple bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom and daily housekeeping, and some rooms have ocean views. The official site does not publish a total room count, so guests should confirm the exact configuration when booking.
Facilities at Planet Scuba Guest House
Verified facilities include an onsite restaurant and bar, a swimming pool with sun loungers, Wi-Fi access and free onsite parking. Planet Scuba Guest House is also the shore base for the Gozo Azul Dive Centre, which runs diving courses, shark dives, ocean safaris and snorkelling trips for guests and visiting divers.
Trade-offs and what to know
The room count and exact bedding configuration are not published, so it is worth confirming this before booking.
The property’s focus on diving means it may suit a dedicated dive trip better than a general beach holiday.
Getting there and getting around
Ponta do Ouro is reached by road from Maputo or via the Kosi Bay border post from South Africa; a 4×4 is commonly used on the sand tracks around the wider area, though the guest house itself sits within the built-up part of the village.
