Detailed Reviews
My family and I stayed at As Dunas for seven glorious nights in December 2020/January 2021. In terms of location, the individual lodges are nestled among the green bush and situated on majestic red dunes, overlooking an extensive, beautiful beach. The lodges themselves are spacious, spotlessly clean, and each has a breathtaking view of the beach and islands and its own individual pool. The food, oh the food, is delicious Italian food carefully chosen by owners, Elena and Fabio, beautifully presented, with a different menu every day. The staff, under Elena and Fabio's close direction, were there to assist in anything at all that we needed during our stay. I was especially appreciative of Elena's efforts to make our young children comfortable and her help in arranging child care. This was a dream vacation and truly one of the places that I have most enjoyed. Thank you, Elena and Fabio, for a magical holiday!

We booked just three weeks before travelling and they were very accommodating with minor date changes here and there while we were trying to navigate covid, and when we arrived it was pure luxury and personal service! The place has been perfectly designed to give a bit of a ‘safari’ feel while maintaining the tropical beauty of the Bazaruto Archipelago. We stayed in one of the Luxury Safari Tents closest to the beach and were blown away with how immaculately they are put together with their tent and wooden building work and simple but elegant finishes.
All of the rooms have a fairly large private plunge pool, and even though on a map they all might seem close together, you get absolute privacy at your room sheltered by the surrounding bush.
What made the experience truly special for us were the staff. From Elena and Fabio making us feel like we were at home in their ‘home’ and arranging anything we wanted to do or eat, to all the staff on the property always willing to accommodate, even when you felt you didn’t need it they went the extra mile.
The food is based on Elena and Fabio’s love of their home country, Italy, and all the menus are designed with Italy in mind with local Mozambiquan ingredients. The menu changes every day so unless you are staying longer than a week, you won’t eat the same thing twice. Fabio’s carefully curated wine list consists of all Italian made reds and whites that are all chilled for the hot summer climate, not to mention their delicious range of custom cocktails with local ingredients.
The lodge sits on a property along a private stretch of beach, north of Vilanculos halfway over a famous ‘red’ sand dune and cliff overhanging the beach. The walk down to the beach is short and there are private shaded spaces with tanning chairs that are exclusive to the lodge. At high tide the water comes right up to your feet, while low tide leaves a massive sand bar to have long walks on.
If you want to avoid the expensive and pretentious lodges of the islands, asDunas definitely gives you the privacy while having the islands a stone throw away. The lodge has partnered up with some excellent excursion providers.
Definitely worth a stay!

Elena and Fabio have worked really hard to create an idyllic sanctuary. The villas and main lodge perfectly blend in to the natural landscape and hold true to traditional African design elements. The property is new, clean and tasteful.
The food, wine, and cocktail offerings are five-star worthy (which they totally downplay in their marketing). Guests will be unexpectedly blown away by the high caliber of carefully crafted menu selections.
Elena and Fabio are fully invested in their guests. From pleasant conversation, insights regarding the local community/culture, coordinating the logistics of daily excursions to accommodating food preferences...they are on top of it! Their business model of providing a quality, all-inclusive experience went above and beyond. Complimentary daily massages and laundry services are noteworthy.
Elena and Fabio are fully invested in their staff, all of whom are from the local community and have been personally trained by Elena and Fabio down to the last detail.
Worth mentioning, Vilanculos is very hot and humid; evenings don’t offer much reprieve. The safari villas include a private plunge pool, which is delightful. But they do not have air conditioning, which made evening sleep slightly uncomfortable. This is not a criticism. We intentionally opted for an open air villa. But you should know what to expect.
We will fondly remember our time at asDunas and plan on returning someday!

We absolutely loved our stay at asDunas for our honeymoon.
Even before we arrived Elena was great at communicating with us and organising our stay. We were picked up from the airport by Lorenzo, and following a hiccup where the visa printing machine broke just as we were being issued with our visas, plus not having any cash, he drove us to the nearest cash point and waited patiently whilst liaising with the immigration officers in Portuguese on our behalf.
When we arrived at asDunas, we loved the decor which is sustainable and incredibly sympathetic to the environment. Each suite is private with its own pool and phenomenal views of the ocean and the archipelago.
From the carefully thought out cocktails and delicious Italian food, we were thoroughly spoilt during our stay! Elena and Fabio are kind and gracious hosts, proud to show off the beauty of Vilanculos. Fabio has a great passion for food and wine and chatted to us about food options (it is a great rotating Italian menu with local ingredients). We loved the ice cream!! Elena was brilliant in organising all of our trips and tours during our stay and she even took us on a tour of artefact shops.
We cannot be more grateful and thankful to Elena, Fabio and team for hosting us and making our stay even more special. Plus a massage a day was a great addition to each day!

From beginning to end, our stay at asDunas could not have been more perfect. Elena personally picked us up from the airport and brought us to paradise. The hospitality and service is incredible, the staff so accomodating and thoughtful. Breakfast is served at your suite, lunch and dinner is at the main lodge. The menu rotates and all the food is Italian with local inspiration, very unique dishes, and always fresh goods from their garden. Unlimited drinks and daily 1-hour massage included. Recommend learning some basic portuguese phrases to speak with the staff, but certainly not required. The rooms feel so luxurious and incredibly private, with tree tunnels overlaying all the paths. Elena put so much love into the articheture of asDunas and it makes you feel so relaxed and peaceful. She also recommended an excursion to Bazaruto Archipelago National Park, which was the most wonderful day trip to islands visible from the private beach. They come pick you up right at the beach and drop you off again after the excursion. Elena also scheduled our tests and drove us to the Covid testing center, as needed for our travel itinerary, then printed our results before we left--a huge relief. There is also a curio shop with beautiful handmade items. We easily paid for everything by credit card. For the price, the service, and all the love, we could not give a higher recommendation for paradise in Vilankulos.

We recently stayed at asDunas in December. The views are incredible, and the best place to go if you just want to relax and have some privacy for a few days. The location is perfect!
The daily spa treatments were a treat, and added to the relaxation process. Elena was very attentive and Fabio and his team made sure we had great meals at all times. The decor is beautiful and fits well with the surroundings.
Just one suggestion though, I think having a small fridge in the rooms would be an added benefit, to keep drinking water cool and having some ice in the rooms would be an idea. Being December when we were there, we found the drinks/water didn't stay cool enough while we were relaxing at our private pool or in the room.
All in all, I would recommend this lodge in a heartbeat. We will most certainly go back. Thank you Elena, Fabio and your great staff for a wonderful stay.

I can't say enough good things about asDunas. My husband and I were looking for a relaxing beach breakaway and that is exactly what we found. Our stay included a beautiful breakfast in our suite each morning, a 3 course lunch and a 5 course gourmet tasting menu each evening. The food was delicious and wholesome every time. We stayed for 7 nights and never had the same meal twice. The also have a beautiful wine list of Italian wines and a bespoke cocktail menu. We tried them all.
We split our stay and spent 4 nights in a cottage suite and 3 in a safari tent. Both accommodation options provide absolute privacy, private pools and breathtaking views.
Elena and Fabio were fabulous hosts, they made us feel so special and taken care of from the moment I first made a booking enquiry. They really went the extra mile, Elena helped us navigate the Covid19 travel regulations in Mozambique and ensured we received our test results just in time for our flight and Fabio selflessly sacrificed his beauty rest to get us safely to our driver at 3am to ensure we reached Maputo Airport in time for our return flight.
We returned to South Africa relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated. We will most definitely be back.

We stayed for 8 days and it was really outstanding!
They collect you at the airport and takes around 30 minutes to reach Asdunas. The welcome by Elena was very warm.
The room has a private plunge pool and outside deck with pool loungers. The inside of the room is very comfortable with everything you need.
The lodges has 8 rooms so a very cozy atmosphere. The food is sublime and the wines superb. Everyday you also get a relaxing massage.
At the beach you have private area’s to relax while enjoying the beautiful view and they serve drinks there as well.
We went on a trip to ‘dead Island’ a private island only accessible at low tide and had lunch there, don’t miss this experience. Also went on a village tour and visited ASAM, a local school.
The all in concept is really convenient and of very high quality. Fabio and Elena, the owners, are really caring, passionate people and great hosts.
One of the best resorts we stayed.

My husband and I visited AsDunas in the beginning of March. We stayed a week and had the most awesome holiday.
Fabio collected us from the airport and was in charge of the meals, true Italian cuisine presented with flair.
Elena went out of her way to make sure we were happy and organised daily outings to keep us entertained.
A trip into the village to see local artists and craftsmen at work, an art gallery, the local market where we bought local fruit and coconuts. A boat trip to the islands to snorkel and braai on the beach.
The accommodation was stunning, a tented chalet with all the luxuries and a few steps from the beach.
The staff were all friendly and efficient and nothing was too much trouble.
Definitely a place to visit again!!

Dear Jakiw, I hope you are well
Thanks for your message and all info shared: May is definitely one of the best period for visiting Mozambique, Vilankulo village and Bazaruto Archipelago area. Regarding mosquitos, in May we do have a very little ones, luckily almost zero here at asDunas lodge. Of course we do offer local beers: the famous 2M lager beer, Impala corn beer and Lauretina Preta as well. We are looking for ward to welcoming you very soon at asDunas lodge!
All my very best,
Elena
owner & manager @ ASDUNAS LODGE
Hi there, yes, you should take during the mosquito season - I would ask the lodge the months they are prevalent if you are travelling then. We didn't take end Dec/beginning Jan, and didn't have an issue as there weren't many around. We tipped about USD5 per day for our barmen, 4 x kitchen staff and cleaners. For 6 days we had about USD300 in tips. However, the staff there prefer to share. It's a wonderful culture. The cleaner is as important as the gardener as far as they are concerned. So we gave the entire lot to Elena who shared it equally, as per the staff's wishes. I guarantee you an incredible stay at asDunas!
Bonjour! Merci pour votre message, j’espère que vous allez bien!
Je me présente, mon nom est Elena, moi et mon mari Fabio nous sommes propriétaires et gérants (italiens) du lodge ASDUNAS, boutique lodge à Vilanculos, petit village aux pêcheurs au Sud du Mozambique. Je suis très heureuse de vous donner toutes les informations nécessaires afin de proposer ASDUNAS pour votre prochaine vacance et destination africaine.
ASDUNAS représente une option unique, soit extension plage pour des tours Safari en Afrique Sub-Saharienne, soit destination exclusive pour des circuits découverte du Mozambique: ASDUNAS est un emplacement exclusif, la vue mer donnant sur la magnifique Réserve Marine et Parc National de l'Archipel de Bazaruto.
Le lodge se situe 8 km au nord du petit village de Vilanculos, 15min du centre village et 30min de l'Aéroport International de Vilanculos. Les vols sont directe de Johannesburg et de Kruger National Park (Nelspruit / Mpumalanga) et bien sur de la capitale Maputo.
ASDUNAS LODGE offre uniquement 8 SUITES à garantir exclusivité, intimité et confort.
Toutes les suites disposent d'une PISCINE PRIVÉE, d' une terrasse solarium et d’une veranda couverte, vue mer et accès direct à la plage.
Les suites comprennent 2 LUXURY COTTAGE SUITE (2/3 personnes, avec king size bed et sigle bed) et 6 LUXURY SAFARI SUITE (2 personnes, soit king size soit twin beds).
À noter que l'air conditionné est installé dans les Cottages seulement car ce sont les seules "maisons" qui nécessitent et seulement dans la période Décembre - Mars.
La LUXURY SAFARI SUITE est notre produit TOP: l'on vous recommande vivement cette option pour des séjours lune de miel, pour tous clients exigeants et aussi pour célébrer des événements spéciaux. Ça représente une option luxe unique, tel que unique TENTE SAFARI LUXE à la plage au Mozambique, pour profiter de la véritable expérience Safari dans la nature sauvage en face de la magnifique mer tropicale de l'Archipel de Bazaruto.
La LUXURY SAFARI SUITE ne nécessite jamais de l'air conditionné car ça benefit toujours de l'air qui "passe" à travers de la chambre pendant toute l'année: en sachant que l'emplacement du lodge, petit peu en hauteur par rapport au niveau de la plage, ça nous donne toujours une brise fraîche légère et confortable.
Un accent très exclusif est dédié à notre EXPÉRIENCE GOURMANDE, basée sur des recettes méditerranéennes et les meilleurs ingrédients locaux, servant des goûts uniques du traditionnel et du contemporain.
Le programme WELLNESS & SPA propose des soins de bien-être quotidiens, inclus dans nos paquet exclusif, pour revitaliser le corps, l'esprit et l'âme.
ASDUNAS profite d'une plage de sable blanc, très sauvage et tranquille: nos clients peuvent facilement rejoindre la plage depuis leur suite, la natation dans la baie est très sûre et agréable, car le lodge se situe dans un emplacement protégé par les îles de l'Archipel de Bazaruto et par les récifs coralliens. Les clients pourront aussi profiter des nos zones privatives au bord de mer et bien sur marcher en toute sécurité sur la plage. La plage privative d'ASDUNAS est entièrement équipée avec d'ombre, des chaises longues et des petits tables de plage. L'équipe d'asDunas assure quotidiennement le service bar à la plage.
Le service offer est ALL INCLUSIVE, comprenant:
- TVA
- les transports depuis / vers l'Aéroport International de Vilanculos
- tous les repas (petit-déjeuner, déjeuner, dîner)
- toutes les boissons (y compris eau plate / pétillante, café / thé, jus de fruits frais, boissons fraîches, sélection de vins italiens, bières locales, cocktails maison)
- WI-FI gratuit complet (dans les espaces communs et dans toutes les suites)

Nous sommes Italiens Francophones et nous parlons couramment l'anglais, le français, le portugais et bien sûr l’italien. Nous fournissons tous services de réception pour aider nos clients à réserver aussi toutes activités supplémentaires.
Nous organisons des excursions quotidiennes vers les îles de l'Archipel de Bazaruto (Magaruque, Benguerra, Bazaruto, Santa Carolina), où profiter du snorkeling et de la plongée en toute sécurité, faire des promenades sur la plage ou entre les dunes et la forêt vierge. Les bateaux viennent chercher les clients directement sur la plage de asDunas.
N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez des questions ou pour toute information complémentaire dont vous avez besoin.
