Like a dream

Reviewed By Nicolaas_NL

Like a dream. Set in an authentic location between a local village and beach full of local fishermen. Next door to a kite surf and dive school. All facilities have the quality you’d expect in an upmarket hotel. Yet this place combines that with a very personal feel and all the charm of a family-run guesthouse. The place has been furnished and decorated with a delicate eye for details. And the team and owners have a high personal interest in their guests and are very nice to relate to. The owners can give extensive advice about the possibilities in the region and have a good network of guides and other operators. Highly recommended as a location to get away from it all.

Casa Jules

Casa Jules is ideally located in central Vilanculos and offers easy access to the beach (2 minutes walk), the central market, the bus station. Built in a green park where you can find hibiscus as well as coconut trees and baobabs, Casa Jules benefits from a cosy atmosphere : a new charming hotel of 8 bedrooms and 4 huts, surrounded by Jule's bar and restaurant, a lovely sea water swimming pool and a lounge. The renovation of the spot and the building of Casa Jules was done in 2012 : the sober and elegant decoration combined with the beauty of the surroundings make this place a real haven of peace and tranquility. Bruno and Valerie, the belgo-french owners, are always ready to provide you with information. They are a friendly and hospitable couple who will make your stay in Casa Jules a happy and serene one.

Perfect situation for this lovely place

The best spot in Vilankulos

Reviewed By nicolemX349EW

Wow! this place is honestly the most beautiful spot in Vilankulos, I would give it a 10 star if I could. You will not regret booking here. Beautiful views, incredibly clean pool, friendly and caring staff, comfy beds with great mosquito nets and a very nicely equipped kitchen. Linda is a true super host who goes above and beyond to make your stay amazing. She even fetched us and ALL of our luggage (which was a lot). Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such a lovely stay. We will be back! Best Regards the McGillivrays

Eden Bay Lodge is one of the most pristine destination spots in Mozambique, and most importantly, easily affordable to the traveller wanting to experience what the ocean has to offer. Eden Bay Lodge is all about adventure. It overlooks the Bazaruto Archipelago and is managed by Paul and his very accomplished and experienced crew. An absolute must is to hire your boat for a day or two (or every day like we did). Experience exhilarating game fishing, world class snorkeling, seafood lunches perfectly prepared on untouched beach spots in the middle of the ocean, eat your catch at night whilst you enjoy a cold one on the balcony of a private unit overlooking the archipelago. You can naturally also just lazy around the pool if you have had your fill of adventure for the day, or read a book overlooking the islands and ocean. Eden Bay Lodge is the perfect get away for the ocean lover, and we will be back. Thank you to Paul and his crew. What a remarkable experience. Definitely one we will never forget .

Palmeiras Lodge in Vilankulo: My favorite choice

Reviewed By happytrip58

· The best location in Vilankulo, close to the beach and few minutes from the center of Vilanculos. One of the best owners we ever found in our travels: very kind, full of suggestions for the activities on the bazaruto archipelago and much more, but very discreet and not too pressing. The place has a beautiful garden around the lovely bungalows and a swimming pool. Great

clean room great view zero service

Reviewed By Chris B

We stayed for one night having arrived in vilanculos and needing somewhere to stay at very short notice. We negotiated an OK price as it was low season. The night guard Anton was extremely nice and tried his best to help, but we don't speak a word of portuguese which is obviously our fault and that made communication practically impossible. The room was clean and had a great view of the bay with all the sailing boats moored. The main problem was that there were no staff to be seen (excluding security) and no one to ask about whether breakfast was included/where to eat in the area. Even in the morning, we had trouble finding someone, anyone to pay! Maybe if you'd booked in advance there would have been more of a welcoming party. In summary, not a bad place to stay for the money but maybe let them know you're coming in advance.

We enjoyed our stay. The owners was friendly and helpful. The house had a beautiful view and the beach was lovely and clean. The house was clean and the beds good. The property is slightly out of town, so if you do not have your own transport, have to take a tuc-tuc.
