Escondidinho

Mozambique Island

Hotel Escondidinho is a lovely large old house, tastefully restored in typical style, with a swimming pool in the internal garden.
Hotel Escondidinho benefits from high ceilings, large windows and its position on a quiet street in the middle of the island.

The hotel staff can organise dhow trips to the neighbouring islands and beaches and sunset cruises.

There is an excellent restaurant in the hotel, run by a French couple.

Hotel Escondidinho, located in Ilha de Mozambique, is a unique destination in Mozambique and is 5 and a half hours by road south of Pemba in Nampula Province. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the island was the country's first capital.

The fascinating mix of African, Arab and European culture and history is displayed in the churches and mosques, beautiful colonial buildings and small traditional houses, the imposing fort, the old Portuguese houses (some dating back to the sixteenth century), the well-maintained, interesting museums and above all in the local population, their culture and their incredibly varied faces.
