Cottage di Vilanculos

This is a true paradise for the adventurous traveller who wants to experience the real Mozambique! We loved our spacious clean beach bungalow with lovely shady deck from which we could see the sea through the palm trees! It was 100m from the sand. All staff were incredibly kind and friendly. Fernando brought us coconuts and opened them. Dalton is an incredibly kind and hospitable host. He recommended local restaurants that we loved - no menu sometimes, just go with the flow! There is no restaurant at Villancool but we enjoyed walking up to Baobab for breakfast and then back to the tranquility of Villancool. Our sunset Dhow safari was an absolutely highlight - a really traditional timber boat with old school sailing. Dalton can organise activities including kite surfing. We loved our time here. If you want luxury surroundings, room service, fast wifi and all that, this is probably not the place for you but to appreciate a friendly community in very comfortable accommodation, I highly recommend it. If you are interested in contributing to projects to assist the community, talk to Dalton.

A Beautiful, modern home that's just a short walk away from the beach. The house is full equipped with everything needed to make our stay enjoyable. It exceeded expectations.

One of two beachside huts set just off the beach amongst the palm trees. The place is perfectly tranquil, with well manicured gardens and a fantastic view of the beach, whether you’re on your hut porch, in the pool or sunbathing on the lawn. We had an incredible stay here (5 nights). Linda, our host, really looked after us our entire stay, helping with airport transfers and recommendations for our stay - we felt very at home. Service from the staff was great, especially Dito, who even climbed one of the palms to fetch us a fresh coconut! The end hut was clean, tidy and spacious with cooking facilities. Would recommend Baobab for meals and drinks a short 10min walk away on the beach. And Odyssea Dive for amazing dive trips.

For our trip, we need a place to have meetings which work great down at the beach, shelter at the pool and in the restaurant. The team facilitated our every need. For the less formal part, we enjoyed the beach and the 3 really exceptional villas. The villas are so large we selected one and had our dinner in one (with over 20 people). The best part of the stay at vilo de paradiso are the absolutely incredible butlers that helped us purchase fresh fish and other groceries and then cooked the most incredible seafood buffet that any of the group had ever eaten. If you can afford it and you really want to have a fantastic team event this is the spot!
