Ponta D'Oura

Mozambique

 

 

 

Ponta do Ouro is Mocambique’s most southerly town, and translated into English, means “Point of Gold”. There are many different stories as to the origin of the name, from a sunken ship carrying gold bars, to a beautiful golden sunrise. The historical truth might never be known, but the modern day value of what is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled bays in the world, can certainly lay claim to golden treasures. The campsite of Ponta do Ouro is right on the beach, in the bay, and it is within the grounds of the campsite, that Simply Scuba operates a large and rustic dive camp.

ACCOMMODATION TYPES

DIVE CAMP : The accommodation of the dive camp consists of 72 large dome tents. All tents are shaded under reed structures, and all have 2 beds, fully equipped with mattresses, sheets, pillows and duvets.

BEACHSIDE CHALETS: Overlooking the boat launch site and the bay are basic chalets. There are 12 2-bed chalets, equipped with beds and linen, crockery and cutlery, chairs and a table, and a cold-water basin. These are serviced by small, hot and cold-water ablutions. There are 15 4-bed chalets, each with their own bathroom, however with only a cold water shower. Full crockery, cutlery and linen are provided. The 2 or 4 bed chalets do not have fridge facilities, so cooler boxes are recommended. Ice is available for purchase from the central bar. Lastly, there a 2 larger beachfront chalets, sleeping up to 6 persons. These chalets have their own full kitchens and bathrooms with hot and cold water. Full crockery, cutlery and linen are provided, as is a freezer. It is a requirement that all chalet guests take their own beach and bath towels, anti-mosquito repellants and a torch. All chalets are cleaned and serviced daily by the resort staff. Gratuities are excluded from accommodation prices.
