Nestled in a sheltered bay on Mozambique’s Lagoon Coast, poised amongst the dunes on timber stilts, the 22 luxurious suites have been sensitively designed to take advantage of their beautiful natural setting, while protecting the fragile eco-systems beneath them. Cool, clean lines, contemporary furniture and a palette inspired by the surrounding coastal landscape make for a getaway out of this world.

Inspired by the rich coastal biodiversity of the area and beautiful Indian Ocean reefs, the guest areas offer laid-back beachside chic, with spaces designed to relax and enjoy. The striking beach bar, set against a backdrop of white and turquoise, is at the heart of this unmatched beach experience with the soundtrack of breaking waves in your ears. 

The dining experience is one of the standout commendations for the break where your personal preferences are fully catered to by a personal butler who ensures it is memorable in extraordinary ways. From a romantic dinner by lamplight on your private deck or a private lunch set up on the beach! The food itself is similarly superb and memorable, with the fresh seafood a standout feature with those legendary spicy flavours of Mozambique prominent!

Whilst being a superb romantic option for couples and honeymooners, in particular, White Pearl also prides itself on being family-friendly too - the Kids Skipper Club will keep the little ones occupied for hours with fun, educational activities that encourage children to explore the mysteries and wonders of the land and sea - from beach sports and sandcastle building to baking with the chef and treasure hunting, there will be no shortage of fun for the kids! The resort manages to strike the perfect balance though between keeping both couples and families happy – for example, they dedicate only certain areas for family dining to ensure that expectations of all guests are met.

Included in your White Pearl Resort getaway is a private butler service; laundry service (to the value of $40 per adult, per stay) and Medi-vac helicopter evacuation for medical emergencies.

See the Turtles (Seasonal) - The resort is home to one of the richest turtle nesting sites in southern Mozambique. Between November and February each year, guests have the opportunity to witness an extraordinary feat of nature first-hand. Loggerhead and Leatherback Turtles head to this stretch of coast to lay their eggs, and, a few weeks later, the hatchlings make their first-ever voyage to the ocean. The resort has partnered with the Southern Mozambique Marine Turtle Nesting Monitoring, Tagging & Conservation Programme to monitor and protect these remarkable creatures. 

Ocean Safari (not included in rate) - Venture by boat to the nearby pinnacle reef for a snorkelling trip, and you could swim with the Bottlenose Dolphins that regularly glide through these waters, an experience you will not easily forget. From July to November each year, you may encounter the majestic Humpback whales in their natural habitat as they visit us on their annual migration. Whale watching is conducted from the comfort of the snorkelling boat as you observe the whales blowing, breaching, lob tailing and playing. Later in the season, you may encounter their newborns too! 

Maputo Special Reserve Trip (not included in rate) - The perfect outing for the early-morning intrepid adventurer. Meet your Game Ranger at reception for early morning coffee & rusks to depart at 05h00. Set out for the Maputo Elephant Reserve, which forms part of the Lebombo Transfrontier Conservation Area.
