I had an absolutely amazing experience at Bahia Marin Vilankulo! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome with their warm hospitality and attention to detail. The location is simply stunning – breathtaking ocean views, pristine beaches, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes it the perfect getaway. My room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and impeccably clean, with all the amenities I could need for a comfortable stay. The food was outstanding! Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with plenty of delicious seafood options. The breakfast, enjoyed with a view of the ocean, was a highlight of my stay. The hotel also offers fantastic activities – from island excursions to snorkeling and sunset dhow cruises. Whether you want adventure or relaxation, this place has it all. Overall, Bahia Mar exceeded all my expectations. If you’re visiting Vilankulo, this is the place to stay. I can’t wait to return!

The place is an absolute gem in Vilanculos. It was created just a few months ago, it is all new, clean and to be honest are the best lodges in the city. I travelled to many counties in Africa and it is the best by far. They also have the best Portuguese food there in the restaurant. People sometimes just come from different lodges just to eat here. The accommodation is better than it looks in the pictures. If you stay here, the stuff will make sure you will have the best experience at all the most beautiful islands. They help with travel tickets, organization and everything. You can really relax and enjoy your holidays here. It is one of the magical places I want to come back taking my friends with. Enjoy it!

An Absolute Gem in Vilankulos: Tranquility, Taste, and Top-Tier Service My stay at Aguia Negra in Vilankulos was, simply put, perfection. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a wonderfully well-kept and truly tranquil environment. This isn't just a hotel; it's a peaceful retreat where every detail is cared for. The natural setting is a highlight in itself. The gardens are exceptionally well tended, creating a vibrant, colourful oasis that invites relaxation at every turn. Coupled with the great poolside restaurant and bar, the ambiance during the day was second to none. Our accommodation was equally impressive. The rooms are well appointed, spacious, and wonderfully comfortable, providing a true sense of luxury. Waking up each morning to a great view of the ocean was breathtaking, especially watching the spectacular sunrise paint the sky—it’s a memory I won't soon forget. Gastronomy was another area where Aguia Negra truly shone. The dinners and breakfasts were phenomenal. Every dish was full of flavour and, importantly, reasonably priced, meaning we could indulge without hesitation. And of course, all this is located just a stone's throw from an expansive, unbusy, and exquisite ocean front. You couldn’t ask for a better setting to unwind. What truly topped off the entire experience, however, was the exceptionally attentive, professional, and friendly staff. Brian and his team went above and beyond, anticipating our needs and always greeting us with warmth, making us feel genuinely at home and looked after. They are the heart and soul of Aguia Negra. If you are looking for paradise in Vilankulos, this is it.

The place exceeded our expectations,rooms are extremely clean,friendly staff fluent in English,nice food,very close to the Mall and 5 minutes from the Airport. We felt at home and the stuff went extra mile to make our stay smooth. They even arranged for us to go have lunch at Anantara which was a bonus to us.You can arrange activities with them and the resort is close to the beach with spectacular views The place might not have many reviews because it's new but you won't regret your stay. Thank you so much Ocean Pearl Beach we are definitely coming back.I also loved how most of their rooms are Family rooms and they made kids feel comfortable too.

Archipelago is truly one of the most incredible places you could ever hope to visit. The casas are charming, large and spacious with air conditioning and a fantastic kitchen as well as a lovely veranda with the most beautiful view of the ocean. The staff are without a doubt the best team of staff I have ever encountered at and place I’ve ever stayed. They are friendly and ready to help and do their absolute best to accommodate your needs! Everything we ordered from the restaurant was absolutely delicious and plated well. The activities on offer are just brilliant - we did two horse rides with Mozambique Horse Safaris which is only a couple of minutes walk away. We absolutely loved every second of our stay and would recommend it to anyone. I very much look forward to returning to Archipelago and really feel that it’s an incredible gem of a place.

Upon arrival at the airport there was someone waiting for us to bring to the villa. Although there had just been a cyclone (and the property was also hit by this violence of nature) we were compensated above expectations. Great management of the Bahia Mar family and people that will stay in the apartment I would definitely recommend multiple massages at the SPA (they are the best!)

South of the Dona Ana hotel, a large hotel on a peninsular,...

South of the Dona Ana hotel, a large hotel on a peninsular, is a 5km stretch of wondeful beach. White soft sand at high tide, 200 metres of golden sand when the tide is out. Not the best for swimming ut there are some comfortable small pools as the tide goes out. No sunbeds and umbrellas here, just local fishermen going about their business. A couple of small low key nice hotels offering beach front accommodaion and food. North of the Dona Ana the beach is less tidal, several larger more modern hotels with very nice restaurants. but the beach is not as pretty with seaweed sometimes and broken shells meaning walk with sandals not barefoot.

Typical of Mozambique.

Typical of Mozambique. It's a poor area so if you are prepared for rural surrounds you will not be disappointed. Locals are friendly and the lodge took us shopping for provisions as and when we needed it. Great place to relax. Super diving, snokelling, fishing and swimming. Very close to the islands.

Definitely recommend. It's a beautiful place.

Definitely recommend. It's a beautiful place. Vilanculos is very laid back, natural and authentic. The beaches are amazing, delicious local food and some great outdoor activities to do. Visiting the islands like Bazaruto is highly recommended. These areas are truly pristine and the snorkeling along two mile reef is awesome. I would say more or less 6 days is enough time in the area. We went in September (not in season) and sometimes it would just be us on the beach with one or two other people.
