Nestled on the pristine tip of the San Sebastian peninsula, just a breath away from the lively town of Vilankulo, House Marape basks in the serene splendor of the Vilankulos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary—an ecological gem boasting Mozambique’s most exquisite biodiversity. Here, five comfortable villas are strung along winding wooden walkways, each perched amidst the trees, offering panoramic views of the ocean below. The main communal area seamlessly blends nature and comfort with its open-plan living space, a social bar, expansive decks adorned with daybeds and loungers, a plunge pool, and a dining area where guests indulge in fresh honest local food. The interiors, a blend of East African style, feature a harmonious mix of raw wood, polished concrete, and traditional thatch, all artfully integrated with carefully selected textiles, vibrant colors, and exquisite local craftsmanship.
