    Access to a number of beach resorts and restaurants, with day trips to the islands and coral reef make this a must- see. The town itself has a large upmarket supermarket with exceptional selection, loads of smaller shops selling a wide range of goods, locally crafted items, banks, atm etc

    I would suggest you bring SA Rand (a lot of it) and exchange it as you go at the shops as most card machines and ATM’s do not work then you can get stuck without cash unless you stay at Ocean Pearl Beach Lodge. They always helped us get cash when it seemed impossible

    The managers of the hotel Patricia & Joao were amazing.

    The managers of the hotel Patricia & Joao were amazing. Constantly going above and beyond for any requests I had. They welcomed me like family. The accommodation is great & clean. The food was delicious. Sometimes the service was a little slow but worth the wait. The staff are always keen & willing to do anything you request of them. These hosts are simply amazing & really look after their clients. I can highly recommend staying here short or long term

    Vilankulo is geared toward tourists that are spending Dollars or Euros. All of the activities are at least $100. If you want to relax on the beach, I suggest staying out of town at one of the lodges. There are quite a few vendors on the beach in Vilankulo, and it is difficult to even go for a walk without being asked if you want to buy something.

    The view from our room was breathtaking, waking up to it every morning was a lovely experience. The staff and owner made us feel welcome without being intrusive. The facilities were kept clean at all times and there was always someone to help us if we needed anything. Not once did we feel unsafe, as members of the LGBTQI+ community feeling safe and free is important to us. One of the best things about Villas do Indico is being a short walk away from the sea. This is place is truly paradise, I would definitely recommend a stay here.
