I had the most amazing time at Vilanculos Beach Lodge and it felt like a personal oasis! The beach was right at my doorstep, and the sunset views from the huge infinity pool were out of this world. The staff were really friendly and made us all feel right at home – we felt super welcomed and well taken care of. Food was sensational and every night the dinner was really good especially as my daughter and I are both vegetarians. Loved this place a lot!!. Can’t wait to go back!

We were amazed by the lovely bungalows, surrounded by nice green gardens and our kids ran amok. The pool was the nicest surprise as it’s a real infinity pool with stunning views of the sea and that’s where we kind of stayed.
Best of all was the kindness of the staff, always ready to help, seeing to our two girls and just being the best ever.
Our great thanks to Angela and Damien, managers, for their professional friendliness. You guys rock.

When we arrived at Vilanculos Beach Lodge we first saw the mind-blowing lush green oasis in front of us, with beautiful big palm trees, a sparkling blue welcoming rim flow pool and impressive views over the turquoise ocean. We were lazy some days as it felt just right to lie around here at the Beach Lodge beside the pool, going for long beach walks and swimming in the super warm clear sea. We made new friends with the staff, so accommodating and friendly!
