eLan Property Group has purchased Hotel Phaphalati, a newly developed resort on an eight-hectare site in Ponta Malongane, 13km from Ponta do Ouro in Mozambique. 
Hotel Phaphalati features 54 rooms and self-catering units, as well as conferencing for up to 100 delegates. All double rooms are en-suite with air-conditioning. 
The forest chalets accommodate two adults and two kids in each unit, with a queen-size bed in one room and bunk beds in the other. There is a toilet and bathroom, lounge, plasma TV, fully equipped kitchen and a veranda with a gas braai.
The lodge has a lounge and large pool deck with views over the ocean. There is a bar and a dining room offering lunch and dinner.  

Alan Vels, Director of eLan Hospitality said: “This is a strategic move to add to the already growing hospitality division. The group is looking to acquire hotels, resorts and other ancillary hospitality product in key locations that can be added to the group’s offering. With our sales and marketing networks nationally and internationally, via African Insignia Hotels, which has been awarded the sales and marketing contract, we look forward to exceeding our investment targets.”
