Moyeni Lodge, San Sebastian Peninsula, Vilanculos

Book the quintessential private and exclusive Moyeni Lodge, a wonderful Mozambique holiday venue offering both a beach and bush experience and  visit Vilanculos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary. This easily accessible conservation area is wild and untouched yet close enough to Maputo and Vilanculos to make travel plans flow. Discover one of the best places to stay in Vilanculos Mozambique, the sanctuary so perfect it blows your mind, situated about 20 km across the bay from Vilanculos. 

The stunning Moyeni Lodge Mozambique is set right here in this paradise, on a picturesque piece of unspoiled beach, ocean and sand dune forests on the remote San Sebastian Peninsula. This is the very southern section of the glistening Bazaruto Archipelago, a massive 42 000 ha of conservation land and ocean accessible by boat or vehicle. The sanctuary Vilanculos is waiting to be discovered.

Be amazed at the 6 sea-facing chalets just a few steps away from the beach, all spaciously designed and decorated with a hint of the exotic. Appreciate en-suite bathrooms and private verandas, inviting early morning views and soft tones of afternoon light into the luxury of a chic bedroom. Enjoy such thoughtful 5-star service and true Mozambican hospitality. Dine wholeheartedly on fresh fish and shellfish caught daily.

Visit Vilanculos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary 

It is important to note that Moyeni Lodge is not located on the mainland but on a Peninsula, San Sebastian Wildlife Sanctuary, a pristine wildlife and coastal marine reserve. Proclaimed in 2002 by the Mozambican government this land is managed privately and is a great example of sustainable tourism, involving local communities, private business, government and tourists.

Moyeni on the San Sebastian Peninsula offers the perfect wildlife refuge for beach-bush holidays in Mozambique where water sports take precedence and luxury accommodation on long white beaches feeds the soul. There’s time for boating, water skiing, kayaking, tubing, paddling and sailing. There are hikes, birding safaris and drives.
