Experience the turquoise waters & spectacular underwater life
Set on red cliffs just north of Vilanculos, Santorini looks across turquoise channels to the Bazaruto Archipelago. Whitewashed curves, shaded courtyards and ocean-facing terraces lend a breezy, Mediterranean feel on Mozambique’s coast.
Days unfold between two pools and the beach below. Take a boat to snorkel bright shallows and sandbanks, pause for a private picnic, then drift back for a massage at Spa na Colina or a quiet hour on the rooftop sala. Scenic helicopter flips lift straight from the helipad for a bird’s-eye sweep over dunes and islands.
Dining is thoughtful and unhurried. Fresh seafood and garden produce shape daily menus, with long lunches on wind-sheltered decks and lantern-lit dinners on a terrace or down on the sand. Sundowners arrive with house infusions and a bowl of something local. Private chefs in the villas tailor everything to easy family evenings.
The Main Villa holds five sea-facing suites set around a courtyard and pool, dressed in bright coastal tones with timber, linen and cool stone underfoot. Each opens to a private outdoor space for quiet sun time or an early coffee, while shared lounges, a dining terrace and the oceanfront pool make easy gathering points.
For those seeking hotels in Vilanculos with privacy and style, choose Villa na Colina for two, a tucked-away hideaway with its own heated pool, or The Chapel, a romantic two-bedroom retreat with open-plan living and a rim-flow pool just a short stroll from the Main Villa. Larger groups can spread out at Villa da Praia, a four-suite residence with generous indoor-outdoor living, a dedicated host and private chef; some suites step onto private patios, others to garden terraces, and outdoor showers frame long views across the archipelago.
