Vilanculos Beach Lodge is situated in the small coastal town of Vilanculos, in the subtropical province of Inhambane, Mozambique. Vilanculos is 720 km north of Maputo and 500 km south of Beira.
The town, with friendly people and a lively atmosphere, offers the perfect base from which to explore the picturesque Bazaruto Archipelago and the Bazaruto National Park. The marine reserve includes five islands – Santa Carolina (also known as Paradise Island), Bazaruto, Benguerra, Magaruque, and Bangue. The Archipelago offers some of the world's best snorkeling, diving, and big-game fishing. The islands are pristine in their natural beauty and diverse ecologies. The coral reefs are profuse with a diversity of tropical fish and turtles and are amongst the most pristine in the Western Indian Ocean.
The lodge is constructed from natural indigenous elements of thatch and local hardwood poles which have been combined in perfect harmony with plaster walls, wood frame doors, and windows. The result is a relaxed yet elegant finish. The property extends right onto the beach and the lodge buildings are set back about 100m up the ridge, overlooking the sea.

Dolphins are seen year-round and whales are seasonal visitors to the Archipelago. The park is also home to the last viable population of Dugongs on the east African coast. There is an abundance of bird species, including the crab plover and olive bee-eater that tunnels its nest into the sand dunes. Large flocks of migrant waders visit the fertile mud flats from September to April and the nomadic Greater Flamingo arrive around mid-October. The town of Vilankulo has grown extensively over the last decade and has been the recipient of considerable inward investment in its tourism infrastructure. Vilankulo has an international airport with daily flights from Maputo and South Africa.
Due to its reasonable rates, Vilanculos Beach Lodge is frequented by South Africans.
