Anchored in paradise and bathed by the unique waters of Ria Formosa, the possibilities for activities are immense, including diving, visits to deserted beaches, enjoying the sunrise and a stunning sunset. The Mulubinba has two bedrooms with a delightful sea view, both with fitted wardrobes and a private bathroom, and a combined living room with kitchen where light meals can be prepared with various equipment. Special meals are available upon request and at a surcharge. Outside the boat has plenty of space with two bimini awnings (top and bottom decks) which ensure plenty of shade, a sun lounger and a lounge area on the top deck with an enviable panorama view. There is also a table with two chairs at the stern of the boat for meals. Lastly and for a beautiful swim there is a wooden platform at the rear of the boat house that will allow you to dive and climb onto the boat via a ladder that sits in the water. There are also two SUP (Stand Up Paddle) with paid ones available. RNAAT Registration 881/2019 Mulubinba during November / March will be available at Olhão Marina, for a lighter stay and access to the cultural skeleton of Olhão. An additional fee will be charged if a stay at sea is desired. Please note that the house boat does not have a captain and is anchored and there is no possibility for them to sail the boat. From Olhão Marina, guests will be transferred to the boat by water taxi. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the accommodation: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee - Chef service ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Books - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Patio ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Boat - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106130000/106124400/106124338/7791a20e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Alojamento Barco Casa Ancorado no Coração da Ria Formosa em Faro Sé - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Outdoor space - Toys/games 10 Exceptional 1 review £151 includes taxes & fees 2 Nov - 3 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=106124338&PinnedHotelID=106124338&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun-loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31560000/31559000/31558961/984fb030.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy house near the beach with terrace.

The Mulubinba is the way to live this mixture of sea, ria, beach and boat life. Comfortable and cosy, she gives you the chance to live the Ria the best possible way, aboard a classic boat. ##### Fernando T.

Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise 30 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We spent an incredible three nights aboard the Mulunbinba. Thank you to Tiago, Ivan and team for your care and attention leading up to our stay. It was the perfect place to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary! We enjoyed a comfortable, relaxing time and made the most of lazy evenings on the top deck enjoying the beautiful sunsets, foraging for cockles on the shore of Cultura Island, exploring nearby desert islands by the motor boat or SUP provided within the boat booking. We can’t wait to return next year and stay this time for longer! ##### Denise Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy W. 7 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Weekend Stay We had a fabulous weekend on the boat. The hosts met us at the dock and took us out there, explained how everything worked. There were also a few nice surprises left for us ! We were with our 2 sons age 11 and 15 and they had a fabulous time jumping off the top of the boat, paddle boarding, swimming over to the nearby beach and driving around in the dingy. We went over to the village of Culatra which was a wonderful traditional fishing village - all on the beach with no roads! We walked along the walkways to the beach on the south side of the Island, literally miles of pristine white sand and clear blue water. At the end there was a little town called Faro, with a lighthouse and nice beach bar for lunch and back to the boat for the lovely sunset. All in a fantastic experience ! Would have liked to stay another couple of days! ##### Amy W.
