Resort Description

Archipelago Resort is located south of the rustic yet beautiful coastal town of Vilanculos in Mozambique, overlooking the Indian Ocean.

The Archipelago Resort is the perfect place to forget the stress of day-today life, soak up the sun and recharge your batteries, and it's superb value for families or friends traveling together. 

The 18 wooden Casas are fully-equipped to sleep six people comfortably. Each is built from local timber on raised hardwood decks and nestled under cozy thatched roofs, lending a truly tropical atmosphere to the resort.

Vilanculos is situated north of the capital Maputo and is the gateway to the Bazaruto Archipelago islands. The waters around the Bazaruto Archipelago World Heritage Site and National Park are an ecological paradise for marine life and a variety of bird species. Covering 1400km², it's one of the largest marine conservation areas in the Indian Ocean.

At the center of the resort, you'll find a bar and a sparkling swimming pool, complete with the alfresco Sand Dollar restaurant offering everything from hearty hamburgers to grilled Piri-Piri Portuguese chicken and tantalizing seafood platters as well as vegetarian dishes. Take a leisurely stroll through lush gardens and finish up by the coastline, soaking up breath taking views of the islands.
