Authentic

Our focus is on delivering an authentic bush and beach experience that is sustainable, participative and professional. Our guests enjoy an unpretentious and honest atmosphere allowing for a relaxing and real holiday that inspires to explore, dream and discover.

Inclusive

We strive to bring supportive energy and commitment to our guests, the community we are working with and to our environment. Our process of inclusion engages each individual and our ability to make people feel respected and valued is essential to the success of Travessia.

Sophisticated

Good quality of accommodation and professional service is important to us. Whilst we recognize the challenges that remote locations such as Travessia bring, we continuously work on developing our staff and improving our offering to ensure our guests experience authentic, laid-back luxury.

Community Upliftment

Travessia has supported the community with infrastructure development from early onwards, establishing boreholes and pumps and assisting with the procurement of solar equipment. Since 2018, Travessia has been operating the local primary school “Escolinha Cumbana Agricola”. Thanks to generous donations of Travessia guests, travel agents and foreign donors, the school was rebuilt on a plot owned by Travessia and a full-time teacher employed. A borehole and ablution facilities followed. The school has been greatly embraced by the community with up to 60 kids between 3 and 6 years attending morning and afternoon classes in certain baby boomer years.

Renewable Energy

As a remote location and being truly cast-away and off the electrical grid, we have turned necessity into virtue by building our own state of the art Solar Hybrid System from Germany. Our water comes from our own well. We do have a back-up generator but luckily so far, we didn’t have to use if very often. Our set-up is therefore based on energy-saving equipment, which also means, that you won’t find air conditioning or flat screen TVs. There is mostly a light breeze in the evening and our buildings are constructed to allow natural ventilation, and as for the TV entertainment: We are sure you won’t miss it.

Child friendly

As the owners of Travessia, when our children were young we often heard: “Sorry, but we don’t want to disturb our honeymooners”. Well, we love our honeymooners. And ideally we want them to come back, to show their well-mannered off spring where they went on honeymoon. Even better if they met here before, as happy singles, travelling among like-minded globe trotters. Which is why we are happy to welcome everyone: Singles, couples, families and honeymooners.
