Harry Belafonte may be the reluctant King of Calypso, a title attributed to this American singer, songwriter, actor and social activist for popularising the Caribbean style of music in the '50s, but the lyrics to one of his most well-known songs can be applied to many a tropical island.
‘Island in the Sun', Belafonte sings in praise of an island's ‘forest waters' and ‘shining sand' as he reflects on the simple daily tasks of the islanders - ‘(men) at the water-side, casting nets at the surfing tide' and ‘woman on bended knee, cutting cane for her family'. He could just as easily have been singing about Mozambique, an island on the east coast of Africa where by the warm Indian Ocean laps its silvery shores.
Top-quality accommodation in Mozambique can be found in the shape of Southern Sun Maputo, located in a prime position on the Maputo beachfront. For guests, this means that spectacular ocean views are guaranteed – as far as the eye can see – and once they check in to this accommodation in Mozambique the illusion of an island holiday becomes rooted in reality.
