Each room conveys the subtle, yet lavish boutique appeal of French inspired guesthouses. Think fresh flowers, smooth stone floors cool underfoot, crisp white linen, cozy reading room, white washed walls, large double showers, slabs of wooden furniture and large bay windows proffering endless sea views.

Lush gardens and peaceful wooden sundecks with linen awnings and a central kitchen where baked good aromas waft endlessly, round out Baia Sonambula ultimate beach haven, transplanting the revived historic property back on the Southern African Beach map, right where it should be.

Tofo Bay
Mozambique, with 2,500 kilometers of pristine waters and untouched coastline, offers some of the best diving in the world. Thanks the Agulhas Current, the water around Tofo have one of the biggest whale sharks populations in the world, which can be spotted year round and sometimes in big groups of up to 6 or 7 at the same time. Beside this wonderful giants, there is also the incredible opportunity of diving with graceful Giant Manta Rays (up to 7 meters. wide ) that can be found on our main dive sites, about 30 minutes boat ride from Tofo Bay.
 
Reefs
Besides these gentle giants, the Tofo area also offers spectacular world class diving on pristine reefs with an abundance of marine life ranging from soft and hard corals, pelagic fishes, multitudes of reef fishes, shrimps, nudibranchs, giant moray eels, turtles, dolphins and a variety of rays, some of which are not seen in many parts of the world like the small eye stingray. Sightings of White Tip, Black Tip and Grey Reef Sharks are a common occurrence and even the occasional Leopard Shark or Hammerhead Sharks are seen every now and then.
