Bilene
Bilene is a peaceful town, known as San Martino in the days of Portuguese Moçambique, is situated on a hill overlooking the sprawling waters of the Uembje Lagoon. It’s a massive stretch of water which is 8 km wide and 27 km long, plunging up to depths of 50 meters, but so shallow near the shores that it’s perfect for children.



Although the white sands and clear lagoon make you feel as if you are in Greece, this is real Africa with rolling sand dunes, lush vegetation and just a boat ride away, the powerful breakers of the Indian Ocean.



Large numbers of flamingos and other water birds flock here in summer to pluck the spoils from the shallow fringes of the saline water. For the rest of the year, Bilene is all about sailing, diving, fishing, water ski, swimming and snorkeling.

Melanie Coetsee from South Africa commented as follows on 01 NOV 2003:
I had the privelage of recently experiencing a one week stay at Palmeiras after last visiting eight years ago. Eddie and Bella have created heaven on your doorstep!! The transformation of the grounds, and addition of facilities has been done superbly, as your stay is made comfortable while still maintaining the feel of tropical island tranquility. The warm hospitality of locals as well as Palmeiras staff seems to be the final ingredient to a perfectly blended vacation destination!
