Originally designed as a family home, Perlo do Mar still feels like a private residence, giving our guests the ultimate in laidback luxury, in a homely environment.
Built using local craftsmen, thatch and wood, the interiors embody a modern Breezy Beach house giving one the sense of openness to the ocean below.
Timeless and quietly glamorous the interiors are pared down so that nothing distracts from the show stopping view across the pool deck to the magnificent ocean a few steps below.
Our friendly manager Alberto will meet you at the Vilankulo international airport where you will be transferred to Perlo Do Mar, a short 20 minutes? drive by car.
On arrival, the house staff and Chef Saramento will meet and greet you, leading you through our tropical garden of ferns, bougainvillea and lush green lawns. A cool welcome drink can be taken at the garden facing veranda lounge, which is also a favorite meeting place in the evenings, especially when Chef Saramento has the pizza oven blazing for an evening around the pizza bar. There is a casual lounge in this area as an option from the front sea facing lounge if the sea breeze is too strong in the evenings.
The open plan living and dining area with large fold away doors on all sides, enables views of the majestic coastline from most of the living spaces.
Other than the pizza bar lounge we have a central TV lounge, and an open air bar lounge just off the kitchen. The relaxing atmosphere of the spacious bar lounge beckons to light the fire for a traditional braai or barbeque and to indulge in outdoor living from where you can take in breath-taking vistas and enjoy memorable sunrises if you are an early riser.
The hub of Perlo do Mar is the pool and expansive deck area with old weathered thorn trees and palms, overhanging the deck, offering some much needed shade in the heat of summer. At night Chef Saramento will set your table if you wish, under the fairy lit tree where he will prepare and serve a delectable array of locally available dishes if you are on a full board basis.
Our 18 seater dining room is of course an option for meals should the weather not play along with your plans.
A few steps down our decked walkway to the beach, one walks through the beach lounge and Lapa area which are one of a kind. You could not get closer to the water?s edge if you tried. It is easy to linger here all day, cuddled up in a hammock, watching the changing light on the water until the sun settles behind the lodge and the colors of the ocean turn red.
