VILANCULOS BEACH LODGE
Vilanculos Beach Lodge has been completely renovated and refurbished after cyclone Favio devastated the town of Vilanculos and the Bazaruto Archipelago in February 2007. All new equipment, furnishings and luxuries have been fitted to enhance the tropical experience and revitalize the mind.
The lodge is constructed from natural indigenous elements of thatch and local hardwood Sambiri poles which have been combined in perfect harmony with plaster walls and wood frame doors and windows. The result is the relaxed yet stylish finish.
The property extends right on to the beach and the lodge buildings are set back about 100m up the ridge, overlooking the sea.
The Main Building houses the lounge, reception, main bar, restaurant and kitchen .This welcoming thatched structure invites guests to unwind in the comfort of its open spaces and passages which lead into the garden, allowing for a refreshing escape and uninterrupted views of the sea. In the event of inclement weather, awnings are available to offer protection, without blocking the magnificent views.
The large comfortable couches in the lounge provide the perfect place to relax indoors and the main bar is equally well-positioned overlooking the lush gardens, palm trees and pool in the distance.
The spectacular 550,000 litre infinity pool on the beach front offers a welcome retreat from the heat of the day. It boasts a gentle sloped beach entry, martini double tiered seats, and Jacuzzi jets and bubbles with a stunning water feature.
The pool bar, overlooking the gardens, pool and beach, offers a more relaxed atmosphere. A big screen TV for the sports fans, a selection of drinks, shooters, and cocktails are available from this fully equipped bar.
The beach entry accommodates wheel chair access, and is perfect for children, elderly or disabled patrons.
A depth of 2m allows for scuba training, without compromising the comfort of other guests.
The well-kept gardens are an appealing blend of indigenous bush on the slopes around the chalets and pathways, and tropical lush green palms and lawns of the guest entertainment areas.
The rolling green lawns of the gardens around the main building, pool and pool bar, are peppered with palm trees, offering shade on the hot summer days. Scattered paved areas amongst the trees offer quiet shaded areas for drinks, meetings, meals or to simply relax.
A small dam on the property offers children an opportunity to fish for small fresh water fish while dad is chasing the game fish at sea.
