Casa Jules  

In central Vilanculos, steps from the beach and tucked into a green park. Walk to the Municipal Market (about 0.6 mi / 1 km) and the Fish Market (0.7 mi / 1.1 km); Magaruque Island and Benguerra Island beaches are a short boat ride away. Vilanculos Airport (VNX) is roughly 1.7 mi (2.7 km) — great for quick island-hopping. Family-friendly and beach-close lodging for explorers and sun-seekers.

A cozy boutique hotel with 8 bedrooms and 4 huts set among hibiscus, coconut palms and baobabs. The sober, elegant decor feels relaxed and slightly chic; expect a sea-water swimming pool, a lounge, terrace and garden areas for slow afternoons. Rooms include safes, ceiling fans, showers and hairdryers, with daily housekeeping and complimentary Wi‑Fi. Bruno and Valérie run the place with warm, personal service.

Soak in a seawater outdoor pool, grab a drink at the poolside bar, or unwind with an onsite massage. Dive club access and a tour desk make it easy to book island trips and excursions. There’s also a library, a children’s playroom, and a small lounge — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and easy beach access.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property, multilingual staff (English and French), concierge and luggage storage. Laundry and dry-cleaning services are available. A roundtrip airport shuttle runs for a surcharge and free self-parking is onsite.

On-site restaurant and Jule’s bar serve guests, plus a snack bar/deli and poolside drinks. Continental breakfasts are offered daily (7 AM–1 PM) for a fee. Steps from the local fish market, the hotel is a handy base for sampling fresh local seafood and coastal flavors.
