Villa Santorini

This was the best all-inclusive resort we have ever experienced. Every day featured exceptional food with creative options and private dining experiences arranged throughout the resort, making each meal unique and memorable. Our host, Abel, was outstanding. He quickly learned our interests and made sure every detail of every day was thoughtfully planned, creating a truly personalized experience. Views of the Indian ocean were breathtaking. Special touches such as coffee outside our room each morning, complimentary one-day laundry service and private beaach lunches set this resort apart from other 5-star getaways we've visited. Our recommendation: don't think twice — just book Santorini Mozambique for a once in a lifetime experience.

This was the perfect place to relax after 2+ weeks of intense traveling. From the greeting at the airport to the last goodbye. The resort was beautiful and peaceful, high on a hill above the sea. The entire staff was warm and friendly and went above and beyond. You were well attended without being intrusive. There were activities to choose from or just relax by the pool or walk the beach.
The food was excellent, the rooms were large and lovely.
A very special place.

This was a bit of an unknown on our trip to Africa after being in Botswana and Zambia. What a hidden treasure! The food was amazing and the service was supreme — nothing was too much trouble. Can’t recommend Santorini Mozambique highly enough!

This trip was unbelievable. We have stayed in many luxury hotels but this is next level.
We felt like we were the only ones at the hotel. The service is on another level! The staff are attentive and don’t miss a beat.
The activities are amazing and the views spectacular.

If we could we would rate it higher than 5, absolutely superb in all aspects.
Santorini exceeded our expectations, the welcome, the Vila, the food and especially all the staff. Neves who looked after us so well. Samantha, Nick, Nelson who were around checking that all was ok and updating us each day what was on our agenda. Sofia our maid who maintained our room and outside patios in perfect condition. Tea/coffee brought to our patio each morning after 6 am.
We feel that we have missed out so many of the staff who work in the background but the deserve a mention as well.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner at a different table location made for an interesting speculation each day.
Picnic lunch on the beach, lunch in the garden, picnic lunch set up on Bazaruto island following a sea trip.
The kindness showed to us when having sat in Santorini’s own lounge at Vilanculos airport only to be told that ourflight was cancelled, a room was offered to us by Santorini so having left in the morning thinking we would back hopefully one day we were back for another night in paradise. Thank you.

I have been travelling Africa for the past 26 years it is the place where I find my most authentic self.
From where strength is born and where I feel at home. I found home.
As a family we have enjoyed the most amazing safaris and after need to relax so head to our favourite place in Africa Mozambique.
From Johannesburg we fly to Vilanculos and then onto one of its many lodges.
This time we decided to stay on Benguerra island and from there flew by helicopter to a beautiful hotel called Santorini. If going straight from Johannesburg to Vilanculos you can then have a short road trip to hotel.
As we flew near, I understood why it had this name, one of the meanings of Santorini is The Most Beautiful.
It truly was.
Stunning whitewashed Villas and so like the design of the buildings in Greece.
Something lovely found by chance through meeting its wonderful owners Vanessa and Graham who had a dream a vision and have made it come true.
This is more than 5 Star this was made from Passion and Love and shows.
This is outside of the norm.
Our room had breath taking views, the food was amazing all brought in fresh from the fishermen daily.
The staff could not have been more attentive, it was clean in fact immaculate.
Just idyllic.
There is also a rooftop Bar where you can at the end the day watch the sun go down chat to guests and have a cocktail or two.
Too many activities to mention from Paddle boarding to Boat trip Big Game fishing community trips and fabulous Spa there are many.

I can't say enough great things about our stay at Santorini Mozambique. We came here at the end of our 2 week South Africa//Mozambique honeymoon, and it was the perfect place to wind down before returning home to the US.
The Staff, the accommodations, and service, and the location were top notch. I've already told many people that they NEED to visit! Thank you Santorini Mozambique — especially Sergio — for an incredible stay!

This place is really something special, and it’s entirely because of the people.
From the moment we arrived (by helicopter, landing right on the property — pretty amazing), it felt clear this wasn’t going to be a typical hotel stay. Everything here feels easy, personal, and genuinely warm.
Heidi, the owner, is very hands-on in the best possible way. She somehow seems to know what you want before you even ask. Plans for spa time, boat trips, and daily activities were often mentioned casually and then just… handled. Nothing ever felt scheduled or forced, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and natural.
We were lucky enough to have Simon as our dedicated waiter, and he was fantastic. Always nearby, always kind, and never hovering. He made every meal feel effortless and comfortable, and honestly became part of the reason the stay felt so enjoyable.
The property itself is small and intimate — just a handful of rooms and a few villas — so it’s quiet and peaceful, and you never feel like you’re sharing the space with a crowd. It feels more like staying in a beautiful private home than a hotel.
Meals were a highlight. Every day we ate in a different spot — garden, pool, deck, dining room — which kept things fun and fresh. The beach setup was also great: cabanas, games, paddleboards, kayaks, big towels, cold drinks brought down for us. Everything you’d want, without having to ask.

Can't think of a more perfect place to have ended our honeymoon! Santorini Mozambique was in a beautiful location, artfully decorated — updated and luxurious in an understated way, and impeccably well run. We were really able to relax and focus on experiencing Mozambique while there. The entire staff went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay and even changed around the itinerary to accommodate weather / new requests. Special shoutouts to Samantha, Simon, and the culinary team as they all made us feel so special. Do not miss: helicopter transfer to/from the property, lunch in the garden, Dugong sightings off Bazaruto, and yoga with a view!

Santorini Mozambique is a truly magical place. We just returned from our African honeymoon adventure. After being on safari, we spent the last portion of our trip at Santorini as a place to unwind and recharge before returning to the real world. It did not disappoint.
From the moment we arrived, the exceptional Santorini staff made our stay fantastic. Samantha and her team seem to have a sixth sense of where we would be and what we would need without ever seeming obtrusive. They anticipate every single request and desire.
We stayed in The Chapel, and it was paradise. It is a physically magnificent villa with the most breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. Since it was our honeymoon, we chose to take all of our meals privately in the villa. Abel, our personal (butler, concierge, caretaker, etc. ) was the BEST! He took such great care of us the entire time. The personal chef (s) worked their magic behind the scenes, cooking us one delicious meal after another. One night, we requested pizza, and they brought the pizza oven right to our Villa!
Nela in the spa pampered us with the most decadent massages. I had the Santorini Signature massage and then went back for an African Scalp massage the next day. Just dreamy!
We had a day of perfection going out on the private catamaran with the guys. We saw the endangered Dugong and several dolphins. The private dune lunch they set up for us was amazing!
