Overview
Pomene is a secluded coastal gem located on the Pomene Peninsula in Mozambique’s Inhambane Province. This remote destination, accessible only by tender boats from offshore cruise ships, is a favorite among eco-travelers and cruise lines like MSC that specialize in Indian Ocean itineraries. With no traditional port infrastructure, Pomene offers a raw and immersive experience in nature, far from the bustle of urban ports.
The area is part of the Pomene National Reserve, a protected zone rich in biodiversity and natural beauty. Visitors are greeted by sweeping white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, and mangrove forests that seem to float on water. The ruins of the Old Pomene Hotel add a touch of colonial history, while guided 4x4 safaris and water sports provide adventure. Pomene is ideal for travelers seeking tranquility, wildlife, and a deep connection to Mozambique’s coastal wilderness.
Unwind on miles of untouched white sand with warm Indian Ocean waters lapping at your feet.

Tip: Early morning tours offer the best chance to spot herons and kingfishers.
