Our stay at Vilankulo Beach Lodge was simply unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and taken care of. The service was exceptional—warm, attentive, and always delivered with a smile, making us feel both comfortable and valued throughout our stay. One thing that truly stood out was the sense of safety and peace we experienced. It allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings without a worry, which is priceless when traveling. But what made this experience truly special were the meaningful conversations we had with Angela and Damien. Their kindness, openness, and the time they took to connect with us added a deeply personal touch to our stay. These moments went far beyond what you expect from a hotel experience—they created memories we will carry with us for a long time. A beautiful place, wonderful people, and an experience we would gladly relive. Highly recommended!

Amazing place and good, kind service Just watch out when it comes to organize some day trip: ask for the exact terms and conditions (ie kind of boat used to visit the islands) because you may experience some bad surprise since the service it is outsourced from the hotel

Lovely honeymoon

We came here on our honeymoon and was a lovely place to stay. It's really quiet with not much to do and not many other restaurants etc near by but the food in the hotel is lovely and there is lots of choice. As a majority good service and friendly staff. Bar does close at 9:30pm which seemed quite early. Breakfast was nice but I recommend not leaving it last minute as often things like croissants didn’t get replenished. Overall a lovely trip and a great hotel. Good choice!

Amazing Vilanculos beach lodge

The lodge was pleasant and homely to stay in. The family suite was perfect for us with two king beds. The rooms were kept spotlessly clean. The food and drinks were amazing. The lodge is located near restaurants and a few steps from the beach. We did canoeing offered for free by the lodge, massage, quad bikes, and visited two islands where we did snorkeling. Other than that, thanks to Angela and Sara made our stay so comfortable. They would take their time to guide and ensure we were comfortable. Not forgetting the servants, Lovejoy, Felipe, Sergio and others not mentioned.
