The property is in a secluded part of the peninsula with a paid shuttle service rather than a fixed transport link, so guests without their own transport should confirm access arrangements before travelling.

Villa Achado is reached from Maputo across the Bay of Maputo to the Machangulo peninsula; guests should confirm transfer arrangements and any onward transport directly with the host before travelling.
