Hotel Dona Ana
8.4 (14 reviews)

Hotel Dona Ana ★★★★

📍 288F+R7P, Av. Marginal, Vilanculos

"Hotel Dona Ana Vilanculos is a delightful heritage hotel with a fascinating love story between Dona Ana and the owner that adds a unique charm to its character. We had the pleasure of staying in a superior room with a circular wall and a breathtaking view. The breakfast was enjoyable, and it’s evident that they are working on enhancing it further. The hotel boasts stunning vistas, and the vintage 1950s/1960s decor adds to its special ambiance. The combination of history, aesthetics, and warm hospitality makes Dona Ana Vilanculos a truly memorable destination."

Casa Babi
9.8 (38 reviews)

Casa Babi ★★★★

📍 R. Do Palacio, Vilanculos

"Cherie Sabrina - i have just seen the evaluation sheet and the wooden dugongo as a gift- appreciate this so much. I would respond with 5 to all questions you posted in your evaluation sheet. When i travel, i prefer exactly the place that you have guys built and run since more than 10 years - with dedication, personal touch, tourism with ❤️, boutique hotel design and local involvement. Your bakery is a piece of France, your dinnet menus are balanced and well thought through, the hit is your homemade nutella. The operator you work with to go to the islands is a top notch and his staff is friendly, patient and modest. J'ai dormi bien avec mon nouveau coussin . MERCI BEAUCOUP ET BONNE CONTINUATION "

Aguia Negra ★★★

📍 28H6+X7F, Vilankulo

"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."

Vilanculos Beach Lodge
9.5 (71 reviews)

Vilanculos Beach Lodge ★★★★

📍 Bairro 19 De Outubro, Vilankulo

"We spent our 25th wedding anniversary here and had a lovely time. The resort is very well laid out with lots of outside seating and lounging areas, and the rooms are nicely spread out in the grounds. Pool gorgeous for swimming as much larger than many similar resorts. The food was great, lots of choice available throughout the day. The hotel marked our anniversary with a lovely welcome gift and a special set up for dinner. We'd like to thank Antonio for all his help with this. We did the boat trip to the islands which was fantastic, plenty of time to look around and the lunch was lovely. Airport transfer very efficient. Great trip, highly recommended - thank you!"

Santorini Mozambique

Santorini Mozambique ★★★★

📍 19 cle Outboro, Vilanculos

"We absolutely loved it at Santorini, Mozambique! It is the most perfect intimate setting. From the architecture, to the beaches, to all the fun hang out spots and especially the kindness and helpfulness of the people, it could not have been better. Simon, our host, was especially helpful, kind, and easy to talk to. Everyone, from host, manager, message therapist and even the chef goes out of their way to make you feel at home. What a vibe!!"

AsDunas Lodge
10 (41 reviews)

AsDunas Lodge ★★★★★

📍 Bairro Chigamane, Vilanculos

"My husband and I stayed for 4 nights in Nov 24 and had the most incredible stay at Asdunas. The food is fresh and delicious, daily massages were a real bonus and the beds are so comfortable. We kept a couple of the tent sides uncovered overnight to allow the lovely sea breeze in to keep us cool & was lovely to wake up to the natural morning sunlight! Could not recommend Asdunas and the team there enough to anyone thinking of visiting Mozambique!"

Villas do Indico Eco - Resort & Spa Lodge ★★★★
"We arrived to check out hotel midday, having asked ******* to cancel our reservation in light of recent reviews, but refused by hotel. Gates closed with a sign saying ’beware of dogs’ We pushed them open and walked down a steep dilapidated track. At bottom is fully broken down airport transfer 4x4 (explains why they never answered our request about transfer) . First ‘chalet’ we see is a fully burnt-out shell and all the debris of the fire litters the site along with an extensive heap of garbage. The ‘infinity pool’ at centre of hotel is derelict - they claim six months for renovation - no renovation underway. One sad looking family of 4 are only guests at this busy time for Vilanculos. One member of staff only. Explains owner is expat in Portugal who can’t be contacted. No manager on site. The only word we can use is ‘semi-derelict’ about much of this ‘hotel’. In response to our and others’ complaints, hotel has took down its own website but the hotel’s photos remain on ******* and Trip advisor remain and totally different from how this hotel looks. Happy to substantiate our statements with all the photos we took. We won’t be staying there."

Bahia Mar Boutique Hotel ★★★★
"Exotic, warm, boutique feel; one bar, one restaurant, intimate rather than sprawling. Garden rooms (not beachfront) were still lovely, just a short walk from reception. Allergy handling was the best of the whole trip. Staff briefed in advance, never needed repeating, and were fully flexible about dining anywhere on the property. Flags: beach access is via steep, narrow, uneven steps, so it’s not accessible for anyone with mobility or balance issues. There’s no sunset on this stretch (sunrise instead), and it’s a public beach with large sandbanks at low tide. Standout: staff warmth and genuinely excellent cocktails."

Casa Babi ★★★★
"Not for diving. Too many conditions applied to be able to dive, just designed not to dive. Dive shop is excellent with great staff but the owners are micromanaging every step of the way. Hotel, meals friendly staff all were great. Sabrina, the owner is someone you don’t want to deal with. Anyone considering this lodge to dive- look around, there are other choices who will value your business. Also recommend reading a negative reviews and defensive responses from the owners- tells it all. They just don’t care."

Aguia Negra ★★★
"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. "

"We visited for 5 days at end of February. As always the lodge, facilities, gardens, staff all spotless and beyond reproach. Thank you for always going the extra mile, personal attention and smiles abound. We will be back in June for the next re-charge! Love Neels & Chantel"

Santorini Mozambique ★★★★
"From the moment we pulled up and entered the beautiful courtyard at Santorini we knew this was a very special place. When we entered our room and saw the 180degree ocean views and noticed all of the stunning furnishings we knew this was going to be a great place. The personal service brought by everyone from your personal waiter to the chef's visits to the table to the management team everyone was kind, thoughtful and caring."

AsDunas Lodge ★★★★★
"I can't say enough good things about asDunas. My husband and I were looking for a relaxing beach breakaway and that is exactly what we found. Our stay included a beautiful breakfast in our suite each morning, a 3 course lunch and a 5 course gourmet tasting menu each evening. The food was delicious and wholesome every time. We stayed for 7 nights and never had the same meal twice. The also have a beautiful wine list of Italian wines and a bespoke cocktail menu. We tried them all. We split our stay and spent 4 nights in a cottage suite and 3 in a safari tent. Both accommodation options provide absolute privacy, private pools and breathtaking views. Elena and Fabio were fabulous hosts, they made us feel so special and taken care of from the moment I first made a booking enquiry. They really went the extra mile, Elena helped us navigate the Covid19 travel regulations in Mozambique and ensured we received our test results just in time for our flight and Fabio selflessly sacrificed his beauty rest to get us safely to our driver at 3am to ensure we reached Maputo Airport in time for our return flight. We returned to South Africa relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated. We will most definitely be back."
