Guinjata Bay is a quiet stretch of coast in the Jangamo District of Inhambane Province, about 30 km and a 45-minute drive south-east of Inhambane city. It suits buyers who want space, peace and a beach that feels uncrowded. If you are looking for property for sale in Guinjata, Move2Moz has been selling on this coast since 2016.
Why buyers choose Guinjata
Peace and space. Guinjata is known for its laid-back pace, friendly local community and uncrowded beaches.
Diving and marine life. The bay offers scuba diving and ocean safari trips. Whale sharks are often seen in the warm water in the early months of the year, and the whale season begins in July and peaks around September.
Everyday amenities. The main beach has restaurants, dive centres and a local craft market, fuel is generally available, and there is a clinic in the village. Inhambane city, with its hospital, is about 45 minutes away.
Access. A normal car can reach the fuel station, but a 4×4 is needed to reach the main beach, so plan your vehicle accordingly.

Buying property in Guinjata as a foreigner
Foreign nationals can own property in Mozambique. Land is held through a state-granted land-use right known as a DUAT, and a built property is registered with a title deed. Always use proper local legal representation and verify title before you commit. Move2Moz has guided foreign buyers through this process since 2016, and our complete guide to buying property in Mozambique explains each step.
What to think about before you buy in Guinjata
- Remote means self-reliant. Many homes rely on boreholes and solar power, and Starlink is widely used for internet.
- Allow for travel time. Daily errands often mean a drive to Inhambane, as only the basic necessities can be found in Guinjata.
- Community and schooling. Guinjata is quite developed, but there is not much of a community, and the nearest expat school is just outside Tofo, roughly an hour away.
