About Bahia Mar Boutique Hotel

With just 22 beautifully dressed rooms, this luxury boutique hotel feels as exclusive as it does intimate. Combining relaxation with a picture-perfect location in the coastal town of Vilankulo, it’s blanketed in tropical greenery and has direct access to white sands and turquoise waters. You’re within easy reach of the Bazaruto Archipelago here – a collection of idyllic islands within a protected marine park, bursting with ocean life.

Unsurprisingly, many of the activities here revolve around the ocean – there’s snorkelling, kite surfing, and stand-up paddle boarding. You can also take a daytrip on the hotel’s 15-seater speed boat and picnic on one of the nearby islands. Other options include a sleek infinity pool with a swim-up bar, and a tranquil spa with a lengthy treatment menu. Rounding off the facilities list is a hotel restaurant serving local specialities and healthy dishes designed by nutritionists.
Families are welcome here, but there’s no kids’ club.

Wellness at Bahia Mar Boutique Hotel

The Bahia Mar Spa is the newest addition to the hotel, offering a variety of revitalising treatments and massages. All spa products are organic, African-made, and completely free of chemicals and parabens. The fully equipped fitness centre provides everything you need for a complete workout.

For a more focused experience, Bahia Mar also offers specialised retreats, including yoga, wellness, and fitness or weight-loss programmes. Each retreat features an excursion to the islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago – the perfect way to explore the surrounding area.

LOCATION

Bahia Mar sits right on the beachfront in the coastal town of Vilankulo, Mozambique. Vilankulo is the main gateway to the Bazaruto Archipelago – five idyllic islands set within a protected marine reserve teeming with marine life and home to a two-mile coral reef. The waters here are calm and perfect for swimming, and the hotel lays on a number of excursions including fishing, sailing and island-hopping trips.

The nearest airport is just a 20-minute drive away and the hotel lays on free transfers for guests. The most convenient route is to fly into Johannesburg (South Africa) and then take a one-and-a-half-hour connecting flight to Vilanculos. Alternatively, you can fly to Maputo (Mozambique) and connect onward to Vilanculos, with the domestic flight taking roughly one hour.


WHEN TO GO

Best time to visit is from April to November which is dry season. The rainy season is between December and February. March to November is a good time to visit with nice temperatures and less crowds.
