As the gateway to various other countries and business hubs in the East African region, and a major springboard to reach cities such as Johannesburg, Dar es Salaam and Nairobi in a flash, Maputo has pride of place on the map for both business and leisure travellers. There are plenty of perks associated with making Maputo your home base during an African business or holiday trip – especially given the excellent standard of hotels in Maputo. A case in point is the landmark Southern Sun Maputo, with its well-appointed rooms, its Portuguese-style facades, and its setting on one of Maputo’s most coveted beaches.
Maputo, which is set in the far south of Mozambique, is drenched in historical appeal and features a busy harbour, a bustling market and a delightful sidewalk caf© culture, making it a must-see for anyone visiting East Africa. And with the abundance of hotels in Maputo, the city is more than geared for accommodating large volumes of tourists and businessmen alike.
For the more discerning traveller, the Southern Sun Maputo would be the obvious choice though, especially given the level of exceptional service and inclusive amenities offered by this sought-after hotel. For example, elements such as air-conditioning throughout, wireless Internet access, the proximity to lavish restaurants and bars as well as satellite television abound.
What’s more, not many hotels in Maputo can boast being a mere four miles from Mavalane International Airport, and once again Southern Sun Maputo delivers in spades by offering a range of airport transfers and travel services via its comprehensive Concierge Desk.
Catering for just about every traveller’s needs, the hotel features a state-of-the-art gym and fitness centre, a massive and inviting sparkling pool, and of course the warm water of the Indian Ocean on tap. It’s the perfect location for a water sport holiday, and nearby facilities include everything from scuba diving to snorkelling.
When it comes to fine dining, not many hotels in Maputo can provide such an incomparable setting as the one on offer at the Southern Sun Maputo, where exceptional meals can be enjoyed on the terrace with its uninterrupted ocean views. Similarly, very few hotels in Maputo can compete with this Southern Sun’s mouthwatering array of la carte and lavish buffet dinners, featuring a delicious mix of local flavours and fresh seafood – which is after all one of the main drawcards for travellers flocking to East Africa to visit this city.
