Praia do Sol is laid back and relaxing with us is what it's all about - although there’s no shortage of things for you, your family and your friends to do. This beautiful part of Mozambique is ideal for a range of activities that can easily be organised, like dune riding on quad bikes which takes you away for a day and brings you back thrilled and exhausted or try a two hour canoe trip taking you through two smaller lakes, along the river and back into the San Martino Lake until you find your way back to Praia do Sol. |

RESTAURANT |
 |
All rates are on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis and when you join us for breakfast, lunch or supper, you won’t be disappointed - our relaxed restaurant is built on Rhodesian teak wooden decking over looking the San Martino Lake. Relax in the ambience of a tropical beach lifestyle and enjoy a delightfully varied dinner menu prepared each evening. The Portuguese influence is strong in the Mozambican cuisine and a huge variety of freshly prepared dishes awaits your appetite.
Although Mozambique is well regarded for its fish dishes, why not be daring and try something new like Portuguese chicken and Espetada! And remember to ask for the Praia do Sol Chilli Sauce. It’s Amazing! Fresh fruit, cereals and cooked breakfasts await you each morning and for those who would like a mid-day meal, we have lunch snacks and a mini-pizza oven to satisfy your appetite. Provision can be made for Vegetarians.
