Santorini Mozambique | Vilankulos
Overlooking the turquoise waters of the Bazaruto Archipelago, Santorini Mozambique is a sanctuary of soulful tranquillity and Mediterranean-inspired design. Just north of Vilanculos, this exclusive retreat is perfectly poised for ocean adventures and peaceful restoration.
The Main Villa features five sea-facing suites, each uniquely designed for relaxation and comfort. Villa da Praia offers an exclusive-use experience for families or groups, complete with a private host and chef. The Chapel provides a romantic, intimate escape, while Villa na Colina—though named a villa—is a private stand-alone suite with its own pool courtyard and front patio, ideal for couples seeking extra privacy. Together, these distinct spaces create a collection of experiences tailored to every kind of traveller.
Days unfold with barefoot freedom—snorkelling, sailing on a traditional dhow, setting off on private boat charters, or gliding across the shallow archipelago waters by kayak or paddle-board. Families are welcomed with warmth and thoughtful touches, while the on-site spa and optional yoga sessions bring a restorative rhythm.
Dining is fresh, wholesome, and seasonal—sourced from Santorini’s organic garden and local fishermen. Rooted in place and purpose, Santorini invites connection—with the land, the ocean, and its community through meaningful Footprints initiatives.
More than a destination—it is a soulful state of being.
