Lonely Planet review

In a prime location on the cliff top with uninterrupted views over the sea, the Polana is Maputo's classiest hotel, and one of the most genteel hotels in the region. It has rooms in the elegant main building or in the newer 'Polana Mar' section closer to the water. There's a beautiful pool set in expansive grounds filled with rustling palms and flowering trees, a business centre, a casino and a restaurant with daily breakfast and weekend dinner buffets. Ask about package deals from Johannesburg.

If you're thinking of splurging in Maputo, this is one of the best places to do it.
