Revival

Praia de Xai-Xai is set for a much-needed revival, with several new projects aimed at rejuvenating the once-thriving tourist destination.

After years of neglect that left infrastructure deteriorating and visitor numbers dwindling, joint efforts from both public and private sectors are breathing new life into the area.

Key improvements include the beautification of public spaces, infrastructure upgrades and improved policing. There will also be a greater emphasis on rubbish collection and maintaining the area free of litter.

This transformation promises a brighter future for locals and tourists alike, fostering economic growth and creating a vibrant, welcoming community.

Improvements and Investment Opportunities

The beachfront road stretching from Hally Hotel to Chongoene Beach has been graded, but will soon be redirected. Plans include rerouting the road through the entrance of Campismo, running it behind the campgrounds, and emerging at the private houses on the far end. This change will transform the Campismo campgrounds into prime beachfront property, free of a road obstructing beach access. The land will be divided into five plots, allowing investors the opportunity to build a resort that takes full advantage of the prime location, enhancing tourism potential in the area.

The yellow line on the image shows the new road with the numbers of the 'new' plots denoted thereon. The green line shows where the promenade will start and it will end at Ocean Star Restaurant.

The area in front of Complexo Halley is presently being graded and revamped with road and parking. Proper drainage is being built so to help control the flooding in that area in the rainy season. The yellow line on the image denotes the new road.
The curio sellers will be moved to next to the parking (left side of the image) in an area designated for them.
