Horse riding

Community & Culture
Santorini Mozambique believes in giving back to those in need around the property through various initiatives including the resources and time of our Santorini team and owners and monetary support in education and mentors. For every night spent by our guests at Santorini, a percentage of revenue is donated to its Santorini Footprints Projects. Through these various initiatives, they aim to leave a sustainable and positive footprint in the lives and land of this Mozambican coastline.
One project, run in partnership with community development agency ParCO, is the local Chigamane Primary School, whose 500 students and teachers are assisted with school meals, access kits and more. Santorini guests will be able to visit the school during a tour of Chigamane Village and will be able to donate to the school.
Footprint
Santorini Mozambique proudly supports the Vilanculos Beach Clean Up Team. The hotel also supports a local environmental initiative called Plastic Free Vilanculos, a community-driven project with a goal to eliminate plastic and other waste from the area’s sea, beaches and roads. The property itself has eliminated single-use plastics as much as possible.
