“Amazing Stay!”
The staff was very helpful. We hit a pothole 100+ kilometers away from Vilanculos which made us to arrive after 20h30, but the kitchen staff was so kind to us, they made us something quick for super. The waiters and admin staff are amazing. Maria the Supervisor was very helpful to us. The food was great, my kids loved the burgers and chicken mayo sandwiches. The location is great! Right at the beach.

“Beautiful family place if you have a car and looking for a cottage-like place.”
The houses are very large, well equipped, and located in a peaceful, remote area. Overall, the security across the site appears to be fairly good. The setting is stunning.

“Absolutely fabulous, calm and restful”
Views of the ocean from the chalet and deck around the pool are fantastic. Staff are exceptionally friendly and polite. Access to off-site activities was easily and efficiently arranged, for example, snorkeling trip to Bazaruto Island

“absolute magic”
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.

“beautiful villas in Vilanculo”
The place is really wonderful, there are 18 villas in a huge garden and half of them have seaview. OUr villa had 2 bedrooms downstairs (one double bed and 2 single beds) and 2 more single beds upstairs, there are 2 bathrooms, a veranda, a full serviced kitchen , sofas and dining room, plenty of space. The villa is fully made of wood and with nice decoration inside the house is cleaned every day, a barbecue outside is also available in the main building there is a restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner if needed, and a bar the lady who runs all this is super helpful, she helped us to change currency, to get local sim cards, to find a taxi driver and they can pick you up at the airport (we arrived from JOhburg with Airlink). there is direct access to the beach, and the area between the property and the beach has been refurbished completely after the cyclon and it is the best part of the beach of all Vilanculo . It is also very quiet, there is nobody apart from hotel guests, there are no people trying to sell something.
