The boat excursion with a traditional dhow is a local experience not to be missed.
Set on a long, narrow peninsula between a lagoon and the ocean, Sussurro reminds us of the romance of early coastal travel. The journey there—a two-hour drive from the airport, partly along the beach—leads through completely deserted stretches of coastline.

Hotels Own Introduction
A Secluded Lagoon Sanctuary
Set along the quiet shores of a warm turquoise lagoon in southern Mozambique, Sussurro is a thoughtfully crafted retreat designed to foster deep connection with nature and a more meaningful way of travel. Here, life slows to the rhythm of the tides, inviting guests to realign, reflect and simply be.
Private Bungalows in Nature
Spacious private bungalows offer more than a thousand square feet of personal sanctuary, immersed in unspoiled surroundings. Each suite features indoor and outdoor bathing areas, along with expansive waterfront verandahs that open onto sweeping lagoon views — creating a seamless flow between interior comfort and the natural world.
A Conscious Culinary Philosophy
At the heart of Sussurro lies the harvest table restaurant, guided by a genuine real-food philosophy. An open-plan kitchen dissolves the boundary between host and guest, encouraging shared moments and authentic exchange. Ingredients are carefully sourced from local fishermen, organic farmers’ markets and sustainable traders, ensuring that every meal both nourishes guests and supports the surrounding community.
A Meaningful African Experience
Sussurro’s commitment to a more conscious African journey is evident in every design choice and amenity. Rooted in sustainability, simplicity and cultural respect, the retreat offers not just a stay, but an experience shaped by intention, connection and place.
