Overview
About asDunas Lodge
asDunas Lodge sits above the beach north of Vilanculos, looking towards the Bazaruto Archipelago. Its nine suites include tented Safari and Iconic options and two cottages, each with a private pool and sun deck. The cottages have air conditioning, while the tented suites use ceiling fans. Meals draw on Mediterranean cooking and local ingredients, with drinks, a daily spa treatment and laundry included. Spend time at the shared infinity pool, follow the stairs to the beach or join sundowners on the dunes when the weather allows. Local operators provide island boat trips and scuba diving at extra cost.
