Mangais Golf Resort
Barra do Kwanza · Golf · Lakes · Pool · Spa · Nature escape
A calm golf and nature resort near Barra do Kwanza, ideal for slow day trips, outdoor lunches, golf, pool time, spa moments and a greener break from the rhythm of Luanda.
One of the greenest leisure escapes near Luanda, with huge lawns, lakes, palm trees and a slower outdoor rhythm that feels very different from the city.
Golf players, beginners, families, couples, corporate groups and visitors who want lunch, pool, spa or open-air relaxation.
Late afternoon is especially beautiful around the lakes, with softer light for walks, photos and relaxed outdoor time.
