Our stay was lovely. The staff were super nice and kind. They welcomed us in such a warm way, as well as for the farewell.

The atmosphere was great. The food was exquisite. I was there with my mom and we had a lovely time.

We can only say positive and good things about the hotel and their staff. We can’t wait to come back already!

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 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

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.

Great Stay at Vilankulos Beach Lodge!!

Had a great stay at the Vilankulos Beach Lodge. Well run, staff are friendly and attentive. Location to the beach was amazing, pool was always blue and clean. Angela the manager was there to welcome us in person and see us off in person too. Wifi is pretty good in almost all areas. Did want a better seafood menu - prawns were average ito taste. Will definitely go back though.

This property sits on a prime location with refreshing sea views. The pool, garden, palm trees are all well maintained for a perfect view. There are flowers all over the place to keep it natural which adds to the beauty of this place.

Food was ok, we were actually spoilt for choice as they have a lot to offer. The pricing is actually average so its very much affordable.

On the downside:
The hotel offers little in terms of inhouse activities, which i am sure they can try to revamp. Despite the hot weather, there is no bar fridges in the rooms, no TV, no DStv, and no personal fitness facilities.

The service was generally good, we were happy with everything with our recommendations below

Suggestions:
Adding Gym (Personal Fitness Facilities)
Adding: Cable TV in the rooms
Adding: Bar Fridges in the room

Nestled above the red cliffs of Kingfisher Bay in Vilanculos, Santorinis' unfurling view of the archipelago islands and curling mainland in the distance is unsurpassable. Santorini Mozambique is like a small Greek village in the heart of a raw African landscape – a magical combination.

Here luxury goes hand in hand with a genuine humility and modesty that produces true richness and sophistication adding a welcoming warmth to its ambiance. Vilanculos is well known as the gateway to the Bazaruto Archipelago and was one of Mozambique first well known tourist destinations.

With regular flights from South Africa and now improved road access, Vilanculos is fast becoming a popular destination with tourists and travellers alike. The town itself is only about 5km long, filled with all the amenities needed to make your visit comfortable yet local.

The airport is based on the outside of the town with flights arriving and departing on a daily basis. The Bazaruto Archipelago, a chain of islands strung out like a pearl necklace, is a protected National Marine Reserve (declared so in 1971) that lies parallel to the historical Mozambican channel.

The archipelago consists of five islands: Bazaruto, Benguerra, Magaruque, Banque and Santa Carolina also known as Paradise Island. There are daily flights from OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.

SA Airlink fly direct with a flight time of a The attention to detail in every space & the personal touch delivered throughout your stay is beyond expectation. From the captivating decor and intriguing design within the villas, to the lush landscaped gardens and outstanding food, there is nothing that has been missed.

Originally created as a boutique villa, the passion and aspiration exploded beyond this, to create mystical pieces of heaven that fell into place against this dramatic backdrop. The entire estate exudes unpretentious charm.

At Santorini, one cannot help but fall a little in love… over and over again.
