Fly Airlink or LAM to Vilanculos (VNX), then ~10 min helicopter to the lodge helipad, in some seasons short boat sections are used when sea and tides suit. Vehicle type: Private boat/vehicle at extra cost.
Guests often ask for a cabana for maximum privacy and honeymoon seclusion, end-of-row casinhas feel the quietest with the widest lagoon outlook and easy breeze, Casa Familia is the go-to for families wanting their own pool and a sociable deck near the main area.
Daily-changing, sense-of-place menus with a strong seafood core, set-ups rotate between the dhow-inspired beach bar, deck and “feet-in-the-sand” pop-ups, guest-favourite plates include Mozambican prawn curry, peri-peri chicken, grilled linefish with lemon and herbs and sweet finishes like malva pudding or Amarula crème brûlée, private in-villa dining arranged on request.
Quick-dry layers for warm days and ocean breezes, a light windproof for boat runs, closed sandals or deck shoes for jetties and dune walks, reef-safe sunscreen and a rash vest for snorkelling, swimwear for your plunge pool.
Book a castaway picnic on the sandspit for low-tide views, ask the dive team for a first-light run to Two-Mile when the water is glassy, and line up a private beach dinner with grilled seafood on a wind-still night.
Low-density boating and monitored reef use protect fragile corals and seagrass, guides contribute sightings data on key species including turtles and dugong, and through &Beyond’s Wild Impact partnership with Oceans Without Borders, stays support marine research, community water and education projects
