Find 4 Star Hotels in Vilanculos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary from SAR 381

"Villas do Indico was everything I hoped: quiet, relaxed, good food, in a beautiful location. However, you should note that the hotel is 8km from town. I was happy to run/walk along deserted beaches most days to get to town/kite surfing. I then took a ride back. If you are taking rides both ways -- which are charged at around US$20 -- you will run up a substantial transport bill. You have to travel in a 4*4 as the last 3km are unpaved/sand. You can do this cheaper on the back of a motorbike but everyone says it is seriously dangerous.| I also had a small issue with the Internet connection having to be renewed each day. Nonetheless, it is a great location if you want peace. Walking north from the hotel is even quieter and more beautiful than going south. Final tip: I took some 'barefoot' running shoes and they were great on the beach. Take up almost no room in your bag but provide enough protection for running and against razor clams when in the sea -- these are fairly common and can give a bare foot a bad cut when dragged across one.

"Wonderful, restored art deco hotel with standard amenities and wonderful staff. Special thanks to Paolo for all his help in arranging transport to Tofo given the political protests. FYI, the hotel is some distance from the main town and ATMs - perhaps 30 minute walk. But the main boat tour operators to Bazaruto will pick you up on the beach in front of the hotel."

"VBL is the perfect place to just relax. Staff was fantastic, coordinating activities was perfect- pick up from airport and return great. beach location was wonderful. will definitely be back! "
