Mozambique Hotels – Why choose Vilanculos and Bazaruto

Vilanculos has it all as the gateway to the Bazaruto Archipelago. A short boat ride away from this island paradise, Vilanculos is our trending go-to coastal holiday destination thanks to its captivating white beaches, swaying coconut palms, clear azure waves, warm sunny days and island-style adventure.  We love Vilanculos because it’s easy to get to by car or by air and offers upmarket hotel and resort accommodation with compelling sea views. It’s a water sport mecca for diving and snorkelling, deep sea fishing and more. It’s also the top kitesurfing location in East Africa with several admired kitesurfing schools along the beach.

The Bazaruto Archipelago is Mozambique’s dream island destination defined. It’s a vital marine wildlife sanctuary for numerous species of whales, sharks, manta rays, dolphins, turtles, and the last remaining viable population of dugongs. It’s a dream island retreat brimming with chic beach villas, luxury lodges and a few steps from sugary white beaches. Plus … a diving paradise and the best honeymoon retreat this side of the equator. 

Vilanculous and the Bazaruto Archipelago islands combine well with a bush retreat into the heart of Mozambique’s impressive Gorongosa National Park, or a few days on safari to Kruger National Park.
