Vilanculos Beach Lodge is 5km north of Vilanculos village
and 10km from Vilanculos Airport.The grounds extend right down to the beach
and boast stunning views of the Bazaruto Archipelago and the Saint Sebastian
peninsula.
Accommodation
Privately appointed chalets constructed on ironwood stilts
with "majeka" (local thatch) roofs and beautiful mahogany floors. All
chalets have en-suite bathrooms with showers (no baths), overhead fans,
mosquito nets and room safes. The chalets are set amidst lush indigenous
gardens with private balconies - most with sea-views - allowing guests to
truly relax and soak up the idyllic atmosphere.
The chalets offer deluxe, luxury and standard accommodation in one or two
bedroom units. The two bedroom units are ideal for families.
Lodge facilities
The beautifully constructed restaurant and bar also includes a terrace, a
lounge area, and reception. There are two swimming pools with a gazebo and
outdoor barbecue area. The "Nao Sapatos" (No Shoes!) beach bar is a popular
venue for beach parties and sundowners.
On the beach you will find comfortable loungers under thatched umbrellas and
you can enjoy water sports or volley-ball. It is a safe swimming beach and
ideal for children.
An exciting range of off-site activities are available, including dhow trips
to the islands, fishing charters, and diving. Details can be obtained from
the Lodge reception.
Natural Heritage
Most of the Archipelago has been declared a National Park and sustains a
diverse range of flora and fauna. Visitors are often rewarded with sightings
of dolphins, turtles, rays, whales (at the start of summer) and, if you are
lucky, a dugong.
Over 150 bird species have been identified in the area, including several
rare species. The varied habitats make this a birdwatcher's paradise. The
sand banks are a haven for pelicans and wading birds such as flamingos.
The Bazaruto National Park is protected by WWF and Park Fees are payable:
