Find Hotels in Vilanculos, Mozambique

The staff were so welcoming and their service throughout our stay was first class. The room was very nice, comfortable bed and excellent mosquito net. It was so lovely waking up, opening the blinds and looking out onto the sea and beach. The hotel pool was beautiful. Vilanculos was a lovely place and felt very safe to walk around. The hotel restaurant and Casa Rex were best in Vilanculos. We felt very relaxed when we had to leave😀

I would highly recommend this place! Their dining/lounge area is great and we really enjoyed our private hut. The location right on the beach is nice and you are near some local restaurants. They offer great tours and all of the staff are really kind and helpful. You are a little far from the center of town, but it is easy to catch a ride there. Its a great place to chill and get away from it all. I would happily stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Babi. It was so cosy. Every night a set menu was made which was wonderful. Dinner was at 19.30 and the guests ate together. This felt homely and made you meet the other guests. Service was extremely good despite people having to cope with lots of issues in Mozambique, such as lack of electricity (you always need to have a generator ready), lack of internet (nice) shortage of goods. We participated in a diving-, snorkeling-tour and this was very well organised. We can only recommend Casa Babi.

The hotel was clean and right on the beach where the water was crystal clear and shark-free. Unfortunately there is very little to do in Vilankulos unless you take a tour to the islands every day, which cost aroundUS$50pp. We did it once but there is only so much snorkeling you can do. The hotel does not have a pool, TV, Wifi, in-room bar fridge nor Tea/coffee making facilities. So we could not have a hot or cold drink until the owner's son let us use the chest freezer in the bar. It was a bit of a pain to ask for the key all the time. When we were there, over New Year, the owner and the chef were both away so there was no restaurant. Breakfast was available, if you booked the day before and was the same every day fruit, 3 pieces of bacon 2 eggs and 4 crusty rolls. It is a 1km walk to the town, where there are local shops selling local food and clothing but little in the way of touristy souvenirs. The local tourist officer, Jonas, was VERY helpful.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Casa Chibububo. The Chalets are very spacious and build from natural material (reed, I guess). Melissa was very welcoming and made our stay very comfortable, even offering some few items we had not taken with us for the kids for free. Although the chalets have cooking facilities, we enjoyed the food prepared at Casa Chibububo Lodge restaurant. Prawn dishes were very delicious. They offer good breakfast too! They organized a boat trip to the Islands with the Casa Chibububo Dhow. It was a memorable experience. I would strongly recommend Casa Chibububo Lodge and its also good for 2 or 3 families as most of their chalets can accommodate 8 individual, with bigger ones accommodating a group of up to 22 individuals and that makes the holiday even cheaper!

The house is a gem in the midst of poverty and a run down town. We loved everything about our stay , the house is not just beautiful but very comfortable and the staff is great to say the least. The privacy is priceless and we had beautiful walks at the beach barely disturbed by the local fisherman . Just constructive feedback : The toilet seat in the master bathroom falls on your back consistently. The taps are loose We had no hot water in the shower and had to shower in the next bedroom The linen are very worn out The kitchen crockery and utensils are very limited , feels like a man did the shopping for it to be honest. Lol There was a terrible smell of fish in the kitchen fridge up to the living room for our entire stay . The WiFi was not working until we called for assistance. Which means that one must have roaming facility on their personal mobile phone. Nothing major, just little maintenance required.
