Built in 2010, the hotel can be defined as a modern property in an exclusive setting that was once the Port Captain's residence nestled in amongst the town's rustic colonial architecture. The area offers a mixture of old world Portuguese and Muslim cultures. The hotel offers 24 rooms tastefully decorated in natural fabrics and woods, a restaurant and bar by the pool, and another magnificent restaurant that extends 80 m over the lagoon. Facilities on offer to guests at the air-conditioned property include a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out service, a hotel safe, hairdressing salon, café, bar, restaurant, conference facilities and Internet access. For an additional fee, guests can enjoy the convenience of room service.

Situated in the town of Inhambane and overlooking the Inhambane bay in southern Mozambique, the hotel is situated about 465 km north of Maputo with easy access from daily flights out of Maputo and Johannesburg.

The magnificent restaurant, which extends 80 m over the bay, has a varied menu, with many specialities, the main being fresh seafood. The restaurant terrace is perfect for an al-fresco meal, a private function or even a product launch. The alternative Bar Do Hotel is a favoured spot for locals and in-house residents to meet and mingle watching the sunset over the bay, while drinking sangria or an exciting cocktail. A continental breakfast buffet is served each morning at the hotel and lunch and dinner are offered à la carte and from set menus.
