Avis VILLA SANTORINI Vilankulo

Superb!

Paradijs op aarde. Helder witte en brede zandstranden. Watertemperatuur c.a. 25 grd en helderblauw water. De palmbomen aan en op het strand maken dat jij jezelf in het paradijs waant. Zeker de lodges in het resort, netjes, schoon en zèèr vriendelijk.

We had the most amazing honeymoon at Santorini Mozambique. The staff was so incredible and really made the whole experience lovely. The rooms were so beautiful and clean and stylish. The food was amazing and prepared at whatever times you wanted to eat. The host helped us with everything we wanted to make our stay so enjoyable (request Pedro or Sergio if you can!). The beach was also beautiful and private. The pools were all beautiful as well. Could not recommend this place more, will definitely be coming back!

We ended our honeymoon with 4 nights at Santorini and this was truly a magical place to stay before our trip came to an end. The property is beautiful and so well maintained. The views are breathtaking and we felt completely serene the entire time we were there. The attention to detail from all the staff here is top notch and they really cater to you above and beyond during your entire stay - from serving picnic lunches on beach, carrying down coolers of drinks for you to enjoy on the beach or your boat excursions, delivering coffee boxes to you in the morning, and much more. Abel looked after us during our stay and was so warm and courteous. Cristiano, Paulino, Ignacio, and Alberto were all awesome either looking after us on the beach or taking us out on a sunset dhow cruise and snorkeling trip. The food here was wonderful and they were able to cater well to vegetarians. We loved the Sala Bar with Stef and Rubin in the evenings to grab a drink and interact with other guests. Stef, from the management team, made sure we were well taken care of and helped to plan our days out. The spa services here were also incredible and should not be missed. We would highly recommend Santorini to anyone traveling to Vilanculos!

Without a doubt, our stay at Santorini was the best part of our honeymoon. The food, staff and accommodations were beyond exceptional. Our complimentary boat day was remarkable. We couldn’t recommend this hotel more. Pedro was the most thoughtful and attentive host- we feel so lucky to have stayed at Santorini.

We spent the last 4 days of our honeymoon here and it was so incredible I almost don't even know where to begin...

First, the property is STUNNING and impeccably maintained. Everything about the design feels intentional and well appointed - from the common areas to the suites. Seriously this place is gorgeous.

The service is world class and their attention to detail is honestly mind blowing. Examples:

- Every morning they leave a coffee box right outside your door with a thermos of hot coffee, milk, sugar and little biscuits so you can enjoy it at your leisure.
- There are no "set" meal times for all guests, you get to decide what time you'd like to dine.
- They're intentional about sustainability. All guests get a glass water bottle to use during the stay/take home which I thought was such a thoughtful touch.
-All guests get a private host to look after you. Abel took care of us during our stay and he was wonderful. He took note of our drink orders on the first day and for all the subsequent days it was like magic - he was always ready with our favorite beverage at just the right times. This is going to sound silly, but he also carved little designs in our butter dish everyday that were so cute and thoughtful. He was so observant and picked up on all our preferences and habits and catered to us as if we were royalty.
- Albertina took care of our room/laundry and was outstanding.
- Cristiano down at the beach area not only helped us with our lounge set ups and ocean kayaks, he also noticed us watching the fishermen and women pull in their net and went out of his way to ask the boat captain if he could bring us over to see the process up close & personal.
- Samuel our driver was fantastic. He taught us so much about Mozambique & the town, he showed us the local market, took care of making sure we were in the right places at the right times.

And last, but certainly not least, Samantha was outstanding. She and her husband Mike do an incredible job managing this place and it shows. She kicked off our stay with a bottle of bubbly to celebrate our honeymoon and surprised us on our last night with a beautiful picture frame with one of our wedding photos.

I could go on and on. The experience is completely bespoke! If you're looking for a boutique, luxury experience, look no further. We hope to return one day!

The most incredible 4 night stay at Santorini. The entire staff treated us like queens and kings…everything from the included boat day to the private island to the food and views, we are so grateful. Thank you to the entire Santorini team for making our stay so amazing.

After an incredible 18-day private safari, I was anticipating being disappointed by Santorini.

I was dreadfully wrong.

Having been to the real Santorini, there are many aspects that make this destination just as good, if not better.

5 nights was simply not enough.

A fantastic ending to a fantastic trip.
