Stay at White Pearl Resorts

White Pearl Resorts offers the ultimate in beach luxury in Africa. This resort takes its mission of creating extraordinary memories very seriously indeed. Experience elegant simplicity at this exclusive beach resort set in the dunes of the untouched shores of southern Mozambique. On a magnificent stretch of coastline, tucked behind Casuarina trees, experience a place so beautiful it is entirely unlike any other in all of Mozambique.

The resort has a Mediterranean feel, with its floating egg chairs that face the ocean and commitment to white walls and furniture throughout. Decorations are traditional and beautiful: ceramic Mozambican stools, coffee tables erected from artfully-made heaps of twigs and plants suspended in glass test tubes — all scavenged from the surrounding bush.

Facilities include two swimming pools, a spa, horse riding on the beach, ocean safaris, scuba diving (it has a fully-certified PADI diving school) and snorkelling. The sheltered bay is home to a myriad of sea creatures from the resident dolphins and migrating humpback whales to the endangered turtles who return each year to lay their eggs on these protected shores.

A big point of difference between White Pearl and other African resorts is that it employs a local rising star to head up all cuisine. So the food here is ambitious and delicious. But so creative cooking in one of Africa’s fastest flourishing economies should be so.

The Haughtons

We really loved our time at Azura Benguerra - the beach here was perfect. The tide came right up to the edge of our beach cabana each evening at sundowner time. Both the staff and food were great and we were really well looked after. There was just the right amount of things to do, including fly fishing from the beach or from SUP and snorkelling. Overall it was just an incredible experience and we absolutely loved it – a real once in a lifetime trip.
