AsDunas

Designed and run by Italian couple Elena and Fabio, AsDunas offers an intimate yet rustic all-inclusive experience on a secluded beach, just 20 minutes north of Vilanculos. 

The main lodge has been cleverly designed to take advantage of its panoramic views of the Bazaruto Archipelago. A comfortable mezzanine lounge area and large infinity pool facing out to the crystal clear waters below. Just 8 spacious suites are dotted along the cliff edge, connected via charming wooden walkways, creating a very private atmosphere. The two stone cottages have a daybed that can handily be used to house one child, while the six safari tented suites all feature covered wooden decks and a picturesque plunge pool. 

A wooden stairway leads down to the secluded white sand beach where guests can spend a day without seeing another soul other than fisherman bobbing in the shallows. Guests can also enjoy hour-long daily massages at the onsite spa, picnic lunches on the dunes or snorkelling and diving excursions in the Bazaruto Archipelago. Those interested in local Mozambican culture can even join Elena on a shopping trip in Vilanculos and visit a colourful capulana fabric shop and the old market.

With its down to earth design and unpretentious atmosphere, AsDunas is perfect for family safaris looking for a more accessible and authentic Mozambique beach escape.
