Welcome to ‘Well-being and Well-doing‘, a consciously crafted unique wellness retreat by Unique Mozambique and Mindwise. With our deep roots in mindful living and well-being through Mindwise, Mozambique offers the perfect backdrop for your inner wellness journey. Mozambique’s unspoiled beaches and coastline, the turquoise blue water and warm embrace of the Indian Ocean as well as the relaxed local vibe here in Vilanculos, create an idyllic setting for a rejuvenating escape and meditation practice.  

Over five days, MA qualified mindfulness teacher Gerry will guide you on this journey into being with daily meditation sessions letting you experience the difference between ‘doing’ and ‘being’. You then apply these lessons directly into practice with relaxing and unique activities here in Mozambique, carefully chosen by us, all focused on your well-being.

In a beautiful, peaceful setting you will learn about your mind and tools that you can use back home, dealing with the daily challenges of life. Whether you would like to learn more about mindful meditation or are already an experienced practitioner, this holiday is for you.

This retreat is uniquely designed for, and based in Vilanculos, but can be adapted, combined or extended with any destination in Mozambique. For example the beautiful boutique hotel Sussuro on Bartolomeu Dias Point, about 1.5 hours north of Vilanculos. You’ll get there with a spectacular 30km drive on an unspoiled white beach. Sussurro means ‘whisper’, a ‘very quiet sound’, ‘mindful luxury‘. A perfect place to practice mindful meditation.

Trip Highlights

1. Pristine Beachfront Private Meditation Sessions

Start your days in Vilanculos with a professional guided meditation session on the serene beaches or in one of the beautiful hotels, allowing you to connect deeply with nature and yourself. You will be learning about mindful meditation and learn how to practice and live from being mode in a beautiful environment.

2. Guided meditation on Death Island

A guided meditation on Death Island, a sandbank composed of tiny shells which is only visible on low tide,  is a very unique and intimate experience. Reconnect with nature and yourself under professional guidance, surrounded by the crystal blue waters of the Indian Ocean, dolphins, star fish and sand so white you will not believe it.  A truly unforgettable and memorable experience.

3. Body care and natural Spa Treatments

Our body and mind are connected and intertwined. Did you know that Mozambique is blessed with many medicinal trees, plants and fruits such as Moringa, Marula and of course coconut? All have been used centuries already for health benefits. So while taking care of your mind we also need to take care of your body. Let us take care of and look after your body with healthy spa treatments using locally sourced oils and ingredients, ensuring a holistic and rejuvenating experience.

4. Ecotourism canoe safari in the Govuro wetlands

Join us on a canoe safari in the Govuro wetlands, a unique inland delta with crystal clear water and abundant birdlife and animals similar to those in the Okavango Delta in Botswana. At sunset the area is teeming with beautiful fireflies! A very mindful experience and perfect ecotourism excursion to put mindfulness into practice. Discover and experience the silence and beauty of nature, be amazed and surprised.

5. Sunrise meditation at the Red Dunes

Get up at the crack of dawn for a guided meditation at the Red dunes, just outside Vilanculos. Watch the enormous sun rising over the Indian Ocean, warming and lighting up the land and colouring the dunes red. Gaze over the vast unspoiled land that Africa is.

Reconnect. Imagine. Dream. Trust. Life is beautiful.
