Machangulo Villas

An elegant, classically styled pink bedroom at Villa Starling, inspired by cultural influences from around the world. Designed by its owners with a keen eye for balance between historic charm and modern comfort.

This is one of four thoughtfully designed bedrooms in the villa, which sleeps up to 12 guests in total.

Each year between July and October, the migration of humpback whales graces our shores, as these gentle giants travel thousands of kilometers from the icy depths of Antarctica to the warm waters of East Africa to breed and give birth -a true wonder of nature.
We can arrange a boat trip for you to witness them up close, or you may prefer to watch them from your villa. With panoramic ocean views, every Machangulo Villa offers the best setting to experience this magical season with your family.
Little prepares you or this magical show.
