Say hello to Mullet 🚤 our all-purpose ocean vessel.
From island transfers and beach picnics to snorkelling adventures and the occasional big catch, she does it all. Reliable, salty, and always up for the task.

Some bars serve drinks. This one holds memories, spoken softly between sips.

Meet Castigo, the heart and soul behind the incredible dishes at House Marape.

A true master of his craft, Castigo creates honest, flavorful food inspired by the rich traditions of local Mozambican Portuguese cuisine. From the world’s best omelettes to his mouthwatering crab curry, every dish he prepares tells a story of passion, freshness, and local love.

We are beyond grateful to have him as a part of our team, bringing the tastes of Mozambique to life, one plate at a time ❤️

Time slows as the ocean stretches before you, the perfect time to pause and reconnect 🧡

Flamingos take to the midday sky, their vibrant wings painting a scene of quiet elegance. In this sanctuary, nature’s beauty is always in motion.

House Marape, seamlessly woven into the wild beauty of the Vilankulos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary. Where the land meets the ocean, and time slows to the rhythm of the tide.

Golden hour, perfected.

Sunlight drapes across smooth concrete, the air scented with salt and sea. A space to pause, exhale, and let the rhythm of the ocean settle in.

Shadows on the Sand

Under the midday sun, ghost crabs dart across the shore, their pale forms vanishing into the sand as quickly as they appear. Elusive yet ever-present, they trace delicate patterns along the beach—a quiet reminder of the wild energy woven into every corner of House Marape.
