Why holiday in Vilanculos & Surrounds?
The coastal town of Vilanculos is the gateway to the Bazaruto Archipelago Marine Park. Along the coastline there are boutique hotels, resorts and lodges overlooking the beaches and turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. The coral reefs teem with colourful marine life and offer world class diving and snorkelling, with the chance to spot the rare dugong, sea turtles and migrating whales.
Sail to an unspoiled beach on a traditional wooden dhow or take to the skies on a scenic helicopter flight, the islands and coastline are a spectacular sight from the air. Try your hand at kite boarding, horse riding and deep-sea fishing, or savour local flavours and culture at the colourful markets.
