Hotel Dona Ana ★★★★

📍 288F+R7P, Av. Marginal, Vilanculos

"Beautiful Art Deco Hotel with amazing ocean views. We have been to over 100 countries and this Hotel is great value for money in a perfect location. The rooms are excellent with air conditioning, great shower, hot water and a nice bed with good linen. The restaurant and bar are great and sunset with a glass of Portuguese wine was perfect."

Aguia Negra ★★★

📍 28H6+X7F, Vilankulo

"Good overall stay friendly staff and well looked after property. The food menu was very good and the food was good value for money. Unfortunately the breakfast was below average and you were charged for a cappuccino. Also when my colleague got into his room he found that his toilet was un flushed from the previous guest. "

Vilanculos Beach Lodge
9.4 (71 reviews)

Vilanculos Beach Lodge ★★★★

📍 Bairro 19 De Outubro, Vilankulo

"Vilanculos Beach Lodge was absolutely gorgeous, with stunning views overlooking the beach. It was the perfect place to sit out on the veranda watch the sunrise each morning, and we loved sitting outside with a coffee while watching the fishermen bring in their catch. The location couldn't have been better – right on the beachfront, making it incredibly peaceful and relaxing. Everyone we met at Beach Lodge was so welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The service was exceptional from start to finish. A special thank you to Sipho, Emilio, Jerry, Paulo, Hamilton, and Bella, who all went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The food was outstanding every single day. I would especially recommend the seafood platter and the rissois – they were so delicious we couldn't get enough of them! This was the perfect way to end our holiday, and we would happily return. Highly recommended!"

Casa Babi
9.8 (75 reviews)

Casa Babi ★★★★

📍 R. Do Palacio, Vilanculos

"My partner and I went to Casa Babi for a week in September. We wanted a relaxing holiday away from Zambia, but also a place we could enjoy some activities we love. Casa Babi was the perfect place for us. The food was amazing, the tiny details from the cheese and bread at breakfast, to the options for starters, mains and deserts at dinner. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, could always give us the best recommendations on what to do. The view from Casa Babi was amazing, situated right on the beach you can wake up to the sunrise on the ocean. The amenities in the room were also amazing, from the coconut oil to the shampoo and conditioner. Casa Babi is very central, so my partner and I could go to lunch at other lodges if we wanted something different. He was able to fish for the day and I was able to horse ride without any issues. Casa Babi is right next to the dive shop Odyssea, which was very convenient to walk to early in the morning before my dive There are dogs at this lodge, they are very friendly and go about their day in the sun enjoying the view. Brownie is adorable and playful. Thank you for hosting us, we will be back!"

AsDunas Lodge
10 (41 reviews)

AsDunas Lodge ★★★★★

📍 Bairro Chigamane, Vilanculos

"Of course the fire before we arrived was terrible for the owners and staff, and we were grateful they were able to make alternative arrangements for us at such short notice, so it seems a bit ungracious to complain about it; but it clearly wasn't the same as the real lodge in terms of luxury, privacy and location. The design of the rooms made them very hot inside, and the mozzie nets did not fit the beds; and I'm sure these small annoyances wouldn't have been present at the real lodge! Of course the food and hospitality probably were the same standard and we enjoyed these things very much. Chelsie was a delightful hostess and the chef was excellent - so they were able to fit around my wife's dietary requirements with a little prompting. The red dune excursion was really nice and we enjoyed the massages too. After all this was a good outcome for us in difficult circumstances for the staff; future customers reading this and staying at the rebuilt real lodge will surely enjoy better value for money, the same excellent service, and you will get what you thought you would be getting!"

Hotel Dona Ana ★★★★
"My son ordered a prego from the restaurant at about 11.30 in the morning. It looked good, but after only one bite into the prego, he was so sicked by the food that he could eat no more. The meat was cold, the bread was wet and soggy. He was so put off the meal and lost confidence in the restaurant that he could not eat the chips, or salad, or even finish the coco cola, worried that the ice may be bad. We complained to the waiter but he could do nothing without the Manager's approval, we we paid and left. We had intended to return for a meal, while we stay in Vilanculos, but this experience was so bad, that we will not and feel we should warn others who may consider eating there."

"Stayed here in June 2024 and I wasn’t disappointed. The facilities were decent and the staff were friendly. I enjoyed the fact that it was situated in a good location of the small little town called Vilanculos. I would recommend for quick stays."

Villas do Indico Eco - Resort & Spa Lodge ★★★★
"In need of urgent maintenance, it is a beautiful place but the conditions leave a lot to be desired. There are a lot of things missing... more varied food, breakfast is very poor, there are no basic necessities such as a simple Band-Aid, there is no shampoo, There is no Wi-Fi in the rooms and what is available at the reception is very weak and you always have to ask to connect...etc etc. I really needed someone capable of driving The lady is very helpful but that's all there is to it There is a lot to to do"

Bahia Mar Boutique Hotel ★★★★
"We spent 6 nights in this little gem of a resort. The facilities were 5 star. A beautiful gym. A beautiful spa. Beautiful rooms (we stayed in the garden villas). It is right on the beach but high up so the views are insane. There is about 20 steps to the beach but that wouldn’t deter me. The breakfasts were wonderful. The dinner restaurant menu was great and what made the stay was the staff. They are super efficient. So friendly. They have gentle hearts and make you feel like family. I would highly recommend and I would love to return."

Santorini Mozambique ★★★★
"Santorini, is situated just outside Vilancoulis, on the cliff overlooking the off shore islands. It comprises a number of buildings almost Greek in nature. We spent six days there and enjoyed a sunset cruise in a dhow and a visit to the market in Vilancoulis. Our bedroom was kept beautifully clean.Walkin shower was spacious and had plenty of hot water. Food was great , we hope to return in the near future"

AsDunas Lodge ★★★★★
"We had a simply spectacular stay at the asDunas Lodge. The rooms are private and beautifully laid out with a private pool. We had a wonderful view over the Indian Ocean to watch the sunrise. Each meal was gourmet and absolutely delicious. - Boaventura, Joao, and Filipe provided incredible service and the daily massages brought relaxation. Be sure to climb the dunes to catch the sunset."
