Santa MAria
Santa Maria is a charming village that relies heavily on the tourist industry for its livelihood. The locals are friendly and hardworking, always striving to ensure their guests are happy and well cared for.
In the village, you’ll find a market where you can buy essentials such as rice, sugar, coffee, tea, and milk. Fresh vegetables and fruit are brought across the bay from Maputo by dhow twice a week, typically on Mondays and Thursdays. However, some villagers have started their own vegetable gardens and are thriving.
Dotted around the area are several small bakeries where you can get fresh bread, known locally as pão, for the day. We recommend speaking with the staff at your villa to arrange for daily pão deliveries, as it tends to go stale quickly.
The new chicken farm in the village supplies both locals and tourists with fresh eggs and chicken. Be sure to ask for a “frango” ready to be spiced up for dinner.
Alcohol is readily available from almost any shop in the village, including roadside stalls.
For fresh fish and prawns, simply speak to your house staff, who can arrange for these to be delivered right to your doorstep.
