Wonderful vacation

We are very satisfied with lovely Bahia Mar, where we came for our honeymoon. The boat excursions to the archipelago were amazing and the hotel provided the tranquility we desired. The staff were super nice, food was excellent and it was very sad to leave. We loved Bahia Mar and warmly recommend it for others who want to have the same paradise experience that we had.

Superb service, stunning setting, beautiful hotel

The service was flawless with staff super attentive to our needs, our questions, and our requests. The hotel only has 12 rooms so there’s a lovely sense of intimacy. The rooms are beautifully decorated with very tasteful items, they have a lot of light coming through and an feeling of openness with the stunning view of the sea and the French doors on two of the walls of the room. Our room also had a veranda with chaises that were handy on evenings when we sat out and looked at the stars while smoking cigars and drinking beer. The hotel arranges all transfers to and from the airport – which I think it’s always a nice add-on as it takes away the hassle of sorting transport in a foreign country. We had dinner once in the hotel restaurant and it was very good too although we also tried others outside of the hotel. Continental breakfast is included but if you want eggs or bacon, there are extra charges. Overall, super satisfied and we would recommend without reservations.

Honeymoon in paradise!

Bahia Mar is a small little paradise! Everyone in the staff is so friendly and service minded and want you to have the most pleasant stay. We spent our last week of our honeymoon and we don’t regret a single second. Well organized, great food and drinks and the location is perfect by the beach.

Hotel bem localizado, à beira mar, numa praia tranquila e silenciosa. Todos os funcionários foram muito atenciosos e prestativos e sempre prontos a ajudar na organização de passeios pela região e com dicas sobre a cidade. O quarto em que nos hospedamos possuía uma vista linda para o mar e o nascer do sol, em que era possível ficar observando o trabalho dos pescadores ao amanhecer. O hotel conta ainda com um bom restaurante, de cardápio variado. Ótima opção para quem quer conhecer Vilanculos.

Paradise in the Middle of Nowhere - but close to a

The ambience could not be nicer, spectacular views, great food and excellent, friendly service. We spent four days there and I really did not want to leave. I went deep sea fishing on the hotel boat and was successful, while some French visitors went out with the official fishing boat and caught nothing. The chef prepared one of my fish in two different ways; both were excellent. If there was a fault, it was that a couple of items on the menu were not always available.
