Client Reviews
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!
