Well designed resort with infinity pool, far away from the tourist trail

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 30 Apr 2018
We camped at Villas do Indico in March 2018, i.e. during low season. We ended up staying for a week. It was gorgeous & relaxing. The infinity pool is priceless. The trips to the Bazaruto islands as well. The restaurant is really good (compared to everything else we encountered in Mozambique). Camping was great value for money, especially compared to other options along the coast. We cannot judge the rooms since we camped. Wifi is very spotty (our mobile phone data coverage was better & more reliable). There was some construction going on - well, low season has to have a downside as well... Highly recommended stay!
Date of stay: March 2018
Room Tip: Camping: There are 2 plots with a thatched roof for sufficient shade. None of the camping plots...

Disappointed, the bed was good the room dark and dirty not total cleaned just the area you could see but under the beds spiders was running. No water no schampo no coffee.
Food on the restaurant didn't taste anything we bought tomato soup ourselves every evening and eat.
To breakfast 1 cheese 1pork each 1 bread we got.

It was perfect, it was in the low season so the staff was not overwhelmed by daily work and gave us an extra special experience. Benilde, Jorge, Xavier, Chefs Baló and Jorge, Hortênsia and Jeremias were fantastic and made our stay one of the highlights of our trip. the scenery is beautiful, even if the location is a bit outside of town, depending on what you are searchinf for as a tourist it might even add to the experience, food was superb (the seafood rice was extraordinary, the fresh shellfish in general, and also the local matapa which we learned to do ourselves (please do the cooking class if they still offer it, it was amazing), very warm and professional staff which really makes the difference in a beautiful place

Off season was ideal. One other guest, warm days, personal service, friendly people, good food, low prices. Wow! We had fish until we couldn't manage anymore. Chef is very good, but not extraordinary...but we wanted simple. The manager is also the masseuse, so she's definitely "hands-on" ;-)...attention without intrusion. Room was lovely and well kept. Hot water took a while to get started. Had to ask for drinking water in the room. Owners very pleasant and ambitious for their property, so open to feedback. Snorkeling was fun and the island excursion felt luxurious.

Room tip: Only our room had wi-fi, but the common area works fine. Don't think there's any other room difference.

Wanted to stay here - have a reservation for 11 nights, but after 2 unanswered messages sent via the resort's very attractive website over the last 2 weeks to try to get information about transfers from the resort to the dive shops in Vilanculos, I will probably cancel my reservation and stay elsewhere.
By contrast the 2 dive operators in Vilanculos responded within minutes or hours of my several messages sent to them.

By far, this place is one of the most beautiful hidden precious stone.. And is not only the magical landscape, but the the way things happens at Villa Do Indico. Very friendly staff and management, incredible good services, excellent food, we have no words to describe how excellent was our holiday in Moz in 2016. Victor and Ana Rita, we miss you already and we hope one day to come back again!
We arrived as tourists and we leaved the place as friends... This is 5* tourism!
