The Villa Experience

Sleeping up to 18 guests, the nice thing about Colina Verde is its huge range of activities to suit a large group, so everyone can pick and choose what suits best. Younger travellers might like to sand board the dunes or snorkel around the nearby island of Inhaca whereas others may prefer a more serene day at the villa: yoga on the beach and a game of tennis followed by a spa or massage treatment. Some may enjoy a day at sea, fishing for giant trevally, spotting humpback whales and snorkelling in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Sunset dhow cruises are a truly magical way to close out the day.

Colina Verde’s wonderfully remote location means the opportunity for everyday wildlife encounters like seeing turtles hatch on the beach below the house or further inland, glimpsing elephants moving through the forest are absolutely possible. Competent staff are on hand to look after your every wish – crafting cocktails, offering relaxing massages, creating magical picnics on the beach and serving dinner under the stars. You can’t fail to be enchanted by Colina Verde.
