Given this was our first time in Mozambique we were a little apprehensive on what to expect. We should have put that aside because WOW, what an experience. As a family (wife and two young kids) we decided to drive from South Africa to the White Pearl all of which was perfectly easy following on Waze (GPS). A note for anyone driving is that toll gates only accept cash - Moz Metical, Rand and US dollar accepted. Upon arrival at the White Pearl you are treated with smiles and welcoming arms. They make everything as easy and stress free as possible. The resort is small enough that it doesn't feel crowded and provides many areas to relax and enjoy the Mozambique sun in private or in public social areas. All of the rooms are the same, some further than others but there are golf carts to fetch you. Given how much food we ate (all of which was excellent) and beverages we drank, we decided to walk the distance from our room to the restaurant/bar/beach to burn some calories. We walked with small kids (3 & 5) and it was no hassle at all. I can't compliment service enough. Your personal butler does literally everything. We had Noemio, what a legend. To have dinner in our room was not too much for him, to bring cocktails to us on the beach was not too much for him, high fives to our kids every morning and so much more. All staff were exceptional but also a special mention to Eduardo the beach barman who played music and created such a great atmosphere. Our 5 day break was exactly what was needed to reset and connect as a family in such a crazy world. I can't compliment this property enough. We went in winter and the weather is just perfect, 17 degrees at night and 28 degrees in the day. We swam in the ocean everyday which was warm. The beaches are endless and the resort provides bicycles to cycle, surf boards for the bodysurfing, buckets and spades for kids etc. If you're reading this now thinking - should I, shouldn't I. Just do it. You won't look back.
