Pomene Nature Reserve is a tiny marine reserve incorporating a narrow sandy peninsula, beautiful lagoon and mangrove estuary. The remote location and small local population has kept Pomene Bay’s environment pristine. Here the resorts and locals are working together on environmental initiatives. When visiting Pomene, please support the local community in this endeavour. If you come here to fish, please take only what is needed for the pot and leave nothing but footprints.

Pomene Hotel Ruins

Popular Attractions in Pomene Bay

Visit the ruins of the vibrant and once-famous Pomene Hotel. You can almost feel the vibes from past holidaymakers, although the area subsequently became a Renamo stronghold during the 20-year civil war. Built in 1964, the hotel had impressive views of Ponta da Barra Falsa and Pomene Bay. Stroll around the abandoned buildings, remnants of Mozambique’s colonial past – you might discover an interesting relic. In 1992, the mounting of a thousand-pound Marlin was found in one piece.
