“Highly recommended”
Highly Recommended – Incredible Views & Staff! Our stay at the beachfront villa was fantastic. The location and views are unbeatable. We loved the well-appointed kitchen (it even has a Nespresso machine and a full-sized fridge), which made self-catering a breeze. The service was top-notch; the staff were always available and eager to help. Pro-tip: Don't book boat tours with the vendors on the beach. Save yourself the trouble and book directly through Mercio at the lodge for a reliable experience.

We loved our stay. Special thanks to Nercio who looks after the guests- he really went out of his way to make our time in Vilanculos an unforgettable experience! He even took us out to the market one day and helped us haggle and find the best prices on getting custom shirts made and other things. The place itself is also great, right on the beach and the rest of the staff are lovely too. Highly recommend.

“Friendly and welcoming with great beachfront location.”
The hosts were extremely generous, going out off their way to be helpful. This really made a great difference to the stay. It was very evident that they cared about the place and making sure their guests had everything they needed. Amazing views from the first floor bedroom over the beach and bay. Amazing fish on two mile reef.

“A little piece of heaven”
Vilancool is located right in front of the beach and it is quite near some restaurants (5min by car). Our apartment was for four people and it was big and comfortable with a kitchen if you want to cook, excellent cleaning and relaxing! Nercio and the staff were incredible, they organised our trip to Bazaruto (they also provide some towels for the beach) and cooked a fantastic dinner with local ingredients! They also provide a laundry service if you need it!

“We loved our stay and it was good value for money and we enjoyed every moment!”
We had the best time at Vilancool! Nercio and his team looked after us like we are family. The location is perfect and we loved our little house! The staff did all they could to give us the best experience possible. We arrived at Vilancool as strangers, but when we left it felt like we were saying goodbye to family! We can really encourage anyone to stay at Vilancool. The location is perfect, close to everything you need. We tried the Kite surfing and took some lessons and it was a wonderful experience. We had the best time as a family and we will definitely be back! Thank you Vilancool and the team!

“Very friendly and courteous host.”
Spacious and very well-maintained grounds right on Vilankulo beach. The hosts are very friendly, courteous, and helpful. The chalet was spotlessly clean.

The staff headed by Nercio (not to forget the guard Antonio) always did the very best to address any request or concern. Fast internet. Calm.
