general information on pembele villa

Pambele is a magnificent private beach home set in a 30,000 hectare private sanctuary. Completed in 2006, the vision was to create a sustainable eco property blending harmoniously with the Indian Ocean coastal landscape. Pambele is fully staffed and offers an unrivalled bush and beach experience.

The lodge has an extensive beachfront property for exclusive use where guests can enjoy almost total privacy and seclusion. It is situated on the northern tip of the beautiful and remote San Sebastian Peninsula in central southern Mozambique.

Guests will enjoy the space and independence of their own beachfront villa as well as time together with the full party at the central lodge with its generous infinity swimming pool, Dhow bar, dining and chill out areas.

The Pambele owner’s intention has been to give something back to the people of San Sebastion, to assist them in improving their quality of life and in conserving the landscape in which they live. The Sanctuary is also an ‘eco project’ with a fundamental objective to achieve light touch development without spoiling the wilderness character of the area.

The area is recognised internationally as a significant biodiversity ‘hot spot’ with a multitude of natural eco-systems all combining to form an exceptional wilderness area.
