AsDunas Lodge

AsDunas Lodge

📍 Bairro Chigamane, Vilanculos
★★★★★ 10 (41 reviews)

"After a short, open jeep ride from the Vilanculos airport, Chelsie and the team welcomed us with no fuss and a yummy lunch. Soon followed by coffees, cappuccinos, espressos, unique cocktails, solid wines, or good beer delivered with a smile to the beach deck, pools, rooms, or Casa Grande (the main area). The lodges themselves are a unique mix of rugged tent and some of the most gorgeous woodwork I’ve ever seen. Particularly the iconic Suite 9 - well worth the splurge. The other suites are spacious, comfy, and well appointed. All are cleverly hidden by deep vegetation, reached by sandy paths which makes one feel alone on an island. It’s like no other place we’ve ever stayed. The rhythm here quickly forces one to relax, eat very well (including 6 course dinners!!) and drink, take an excursion if you wish, lounge, and repeat. The ocean is accessible in the morning and late afternoon. In between it’s pushed a half mile or so out by some crazy tides. The scuba and snorkeling in the must visit, nearly devoid of people national park is quite good. Chelsie will set you up with the right folks to get you out and under the water, accessible all day from nearby Vilanculos. Some tidbits which worked very well for us but should be noted for other travelers: Our suites did not have AC, nor was it needed with exquisite early June weather. The tides are unusual here as noted above, so you can’t just drop down for an ocean swim mid-day, But that creates some awesome vistas and fun of a different kind. The dinners include a few unusual tastes. Some of those little bites were hit or miss, but we like our tasting menus to be adventurous. If you have always starving kids like we do, be sure they double up on the succulent homemade pasta evening course. The town is safe and interesting but not a destination itself per se. We loved our stay at AsDunas and would happily return someday."

Villas do Indico Eco - Resort & Spa Lodge ★★★★
"We had an incredible stay at Villas do Indico in Vilanculos, Mozambique. The staff's warm welcome, delicious food, and exceptional rooms made our experience truly enjoyable. The highlight was the boat trip to Santa Carolina Island with Ninon and Steve. Steve's expertise as a skipper led us to encounter dolphins and turtles, and snorkeling revealed a vibrant array of fish species. The lunch on the rocks, overlooking the ocean, was a breathtaking experience. Steve's knowledge and dedication ensured our comfort throughout the trip. I highly recommend the boat trip with Ninon and Steve – a truly memorable adventure! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

Hotel Dona Ana ★★★★
"Hotel Dona Ana Vilanculos is a delightful heritage hotel with a fascinating love story between Dona Ana and the owner that adds a unique charm to its character. We had the pleasure of staying in a superior room with a circular wall and a breathtaking view. The breakfast was enjoyable, and it’s evident that they are working on enhancing it further. The hotel boasts stunning vistas, and the vintage 1950s/1960s decor adds to its special ambiance. The combination of history, aesthetics, and warm hospitality makes Dona Ana Vilanculos a truly memorable destination."

Bahia Mar Boutique Hotel ★★★★
"We stayed at Bahía Mar and had an excellent experience. The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and always willing to help. We booked several excursions and activities through them, and everything was perfectly organized. They even went the extra mile to assist us when our flight was cancelled, arranging a transfer for us. Truly outstanding service and a place we would highly recommend."

Santorini Mozambique ★★★★
"We stayed here on the recommendation of our travel agent and it was absolutely spectacular! We were in the villa, which was (way) more than enough space for our family of 4. The view was jaw-dropping and I couldn't tear my eyes away from it the whole time. We really enjoyed our beach time - it was so relaxing and the beach staff did an amazing job making us feel comfortable, pulling out toys and activities for the kids to play with, and even playing with the kids some too. One day we ventured out snorkeling (definitely spring for the Two Mile reef) and enjoyed lunch on the island; the boat crew also pulled out fishing rods just for some experience here. We also ventured out around town one day and felt comfortable with Samuel as our guide (a local who is always smiling). At the villa itself Simon took great care of us - the food was plentiful and delicious and the whole staff cleaned and moved around our schedule with ease. We visited Santorini in the winter so the water was cool, but not too cold to swim in, and the area was pretty quiet. I would 100% stay here again, it's truly a beautiful oasis of relaxation"

Casa Babi ★★★★
"Cherie Sabrina - i have just seen the evaluation sheet and the wooden dugongo as a gift- appreciate this so much. I would respond with 5 to all questions you posted in your evaluation sheet. When i travel, i prefer exactly the place that you have guys built and run since more than 10 years - with dedication, personal touch, tourism with ❤️, boutique hotel design and local involvement. Your bakery is a piece of France, your dinnet menus are balanced and well thought through, the hit is your homemade nutella. The operator you work with to go to the islands is a top notch and his staff is friendly, patient and modest. J'ai dormi bien avec mon nouveau coussin . MERCI BEAUCOUP ET BONNE CONTINUATION "

AsDunas Lodge ★★★★★
"Our stay at AsDunas Lodge was truly exceptional. From the very beginning we felt genuinely welcomed by the warm and attentive hosts, who create a relaxed and personal atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. The staff were consistently friendly, thoughtful, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything felt comfortable and well taken care of. The food was another real highlight throughout our stay—fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavour. What makes this place stand out is its intimate scale and calm environment, which naturally attracts considerate and easy-going guests, adding to the overall sense of harmony and relaxation. A wonderful destination for anyone looking for genuine hospitality, great food, and a peaceful, personal escape. Highly recommended."
