What do you do on a really warm and sunny day in Ilha de Moçambique?
The island offers many warm weather options with easy land access.
Take a relaxing stroll around the island; it’s small in size but with many treasures to discover. From the Indian architectural influence remains to the last Portuguese occupation.
And on a raining day?
In August and September rain is rare. But if it’s raining you could go to visit the museums or go near the fish market to talk with the local people.
Macuti, the traditional area where most of the local people live, is really lively.
What is the best way to get around in the town?
The best way to get around is walking. You can ask a local to give you a tour – they will show you the entire island for a very small amount of money.
Favourite place?
The Macuti area, which is full of life from early afternoon into the night.
What shouldn’t be missed on someone’s first visit to Ilha?
A walk to the Fort Sao Sebastiao and strolling the sea coast end to end.
Ilha best club?
A wonderful dinner at the Reliquias restaurant and some drinks and dancing on the Watelefou, behind the Hotel Escondidinho.
What’s the best plan for a Sunday morning in Ilha?
If the wind and the sea cooperate, rent a dhow or a sailboat and go to Goa Island, Cabeceira Grande, Carrusca and Chocas Mar. You can get there as well by land (except the Goa Island, of course).
