Location & Setting
Bahia Mar sits above a sandy stretch on Vilanculos Bay, about 3 km from the town centre, with wide views across to the Bazaruto Archipelago. Guests typically fly into Vilankulo Airport and transfer a short distance by road to the hotel. The mainland location makes it a practical base for day trips by boat to reefs and sandbars inside the Bazaruto Marine National Park, while keeping markets and local culture close at hand. Expect calm, tidal shallows, long beach walks and easy access to island-hopping adventures.

Accommodation spans sea-view bedrooms on upper levels, spacious beach suites just steps from the sand, and tranquil garden suites set amid greenery. Rooms feature air-conditioning, Wi-Fi and private outdoor space; suites add living areas and terraces ideal for sunrise bay views. The current inventory totals 22 rooms and suites, reflecting recent additions beyond early 12–17 room listings. Neutral, light-filled interiors and indoor-outdoor flow create a restful base after days on the water, with categories suiting couples, friends and small families.
