Summer Sands forms the last outpost on the Tofinho Beach, just 20 kilometres south of Inhambane. Its position provides spectacular coastal views, the sea spray tingling the decks of the seven luxury self-accommodation houses. Resident whale sharks loll in the immediate waters, competing for space when migratory Hump Back Whales make their appearance from early June to October. From the living areas, dolphins can be sighted chasing their catch, frustrating sea birds and interrupting your afternoon siesta.
Each casa is fully equipped and comfortably appointed. In the 3×3 bedroom houses your family and friends can spread out with ease between the three bedrooms and two bathrooms that sleep and accommodate 6 people. An open plan design of the dining, kitchen and living areas makes those rainy days so much more comfortable. These all centre towards the verandas that unashamedly stare on the beach views to either side and magnificent ocean ahead. An enclosed courtyard in the centre of each house provides sheltered space should the wind pick up. The 3×2 bedroom houses overlook the pool area and also have spectacular sea views. Each bedroom has a double bed and single bed with an en suite bathroom. The living and kitchen area seperate the 2 bedrooms. There is also an enclosed courtyard.
Getting Here
Summer Sands is located on the pristine cost line of Tofinho, 20 minutes’ drive from Inhambane city, Inhambane Province, on the south coast of Mozambique. Tofinho is situated ±500 km north of Maputo, and a 4 X 4 vehicle is not necessary as the road is mostly good condition tarmac, although some areas are affected by potholes and in need of some maintenance. However the last ±1 km is a dirt road. All roads are clearly sign posted. For detailed directions click here…
