San Martinho Beach Club Bilene – A Review

San Martinho Beach Club is a dream for holiday makers. It is right by the beach, and there’s nothing like waking up in the morning and having the beach right by your door.
The view is breathtaking, and the sound of the waves makes it even more stunning. And in a few metres, with the sand under your feet and between your toes, you are in the water.
Did I mention the beautiful palm trees that just add to the beauty of that place? It is utterly stunning . . . let’s get in a bit deeper.
Mozambique is a beautiful country . . . and we totally fell in love with it!
First Impression & Checking In at San Martinho Beach Club in Bilene
When you plan to stay at San Martinho, you need to make sure that you book in advance, because the place is so beautiful and popular, that you don’t want to get disappointed, and have it be fully booked.
We left Johannesburg in the AM’s for Mozambique, and we pretty much travelled the entire day. by the time we got to Bilene, it was dark and we were exhausted.
Lucky for us, the check in process at San Martinho Beach Club was seamless and quick. Reception was efficient and friendly, and within minutes we had everything we needed including the keys to our chalet.
The stuff were also very helpful, they showed us where our chalet was, and helped us by carrying all our bags to our home for the long weekend.
We were exhausted from the trip, all we could really do was have a look at our chalet, have some food over a drink or two and we ere off to bed.

San Martinho Beach Club Accommodation
We had booked the 6 sleeper self catering apartment, right by the beach, and it was perfect!
It was a double story apartment, with a kitchen, a lounge, a patio where we had all our meals. It was clean and it had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay.
The kitchen was fully equipped, and it had everything we needed to cook any meal that we wanted, including a microwave, a fridge, a stove and everything you would need your kitchen to have.
Outside by the patio, were braai facilities, if we chose to go that route.
Our apartment was fully furnished and had air conditioning, bathroom towels, ceiling fan, hairdryer, clean linen, lockup safe . . . and spacious.
