Vilanculos Beach Lodge

Peaceful, beautiful and well care. Really gentle staff, beautiful bungalows and sea views. Incredible swimming pool and fantastic massages, and delicious food and breakfast A dream come true. Thanks to Angela for taking care of every detail.

A stunning location. We thought we had exhausted the 'wows' but the views around the hotel, pool and beach were, again, some of the best we've seen. Stunning. Our accommodation was charming, clean, quiet and comfortable and the gardens were beautiful. My wife's complimentary welcome massage was very well received! Whilst visiting we went on the cultural tour. Whilst I initially thought it was quite expensive, it was absolutely worth every Mozambican Metical as I feel the tour of the town and the people we met gave us at least a glimpse of the real Mozambique. Our guide, Dionysio, is quite an extraordinary young man. Inspirational, informative and generous with his time, knowledge and energy. We took a boat trip out to the islands gave us the opportunity to see Bazaruto and snorkel on 2 mile reef. Absolutely in fantastic condition and to say 'I've dived worse in the Maldives' should give an indication of that! Apart from the snorkelling, we spent a relaxed day exploring the beautiful beaches and dunes. The guide on this occasion was functional more than engaging and the presence of one guest with his sound system was a minor dent in an otherwise fabulous day. The staff at the lodge were utterly charming and did their best at all times. It was a genuine pleasure to meet the manager, Angela, as well as Joseph and the team. They certainly have a little corner of paradise!
