With its beautiful, palm-fringed Indian Ocean coastline, vibrant mix of cultures and grand colonial architecture, Mozambique offers abundant opportunities for adventure, experience and discovery. In the heart of all this splendour, the historic Polana Serena Hotel in Maputo has upheld a rich tradition of hospitality since 1922.

The iconic hotel was originally built in the “palace style” nearly one hundred years ago, attracting a guest list that included international diplomats, politicians and heads of state during World War II.

In addition to beautifully appointed guest rooms, you can choose among our elegant suites with spectacular Indian Ocean views. The recently refurbished Polana Mar wing exudes an African scent and provides for spectacular views over the sea standing out as the place for both business and leisure. Relax in a comfortable chaise by the magnificent ocean-view pool and gardens or indulge with an Exotic Lime & Ginger Salt Glow body treatment or an Ayurvedic Hot Stone Massage at the Serena Maisha Mind Body & Spirit Spa. Lovers of gourmet cuisine will relish the array of dining choices, including splendid French cuisine at The Delagoa Restaurant, savoury international dishes and sweeping views of Maputo Bay at Varanda and open-air sushi delights at Aquarius.
