Baraka Beach Vilanculos

Vilankulo is a coastal town in Mozambique, lying in the Vilanculos District of Inhambane Province. Vilankulo is named after local tribal chief Gamela Vilankulo Mukoke, and some of the "bairros" (suburbs) are named after his sons. Known as Vilanculos during colonial times, the name was changed to Vilankulo at independence. Today the district is called Vilanculos and the town Vilankulo.

Located on the stunning Indian Ocean coastline, Vilanculos is a hidden gem that offers a perfect blend of tropical paradise and cultural richness. This charming town boasts a vibrant local community, colorful markets, and pristine beaches that stretch for miles along the turquoise waters.

One of the most popular attractions in Vilanculos is the Bazaruto Archipelago, a group of five idyllic islands that offer a variety of activities such as snorkeling, diving, and swimming with dolphins. The Archipelago is also home to a diverse marine life that includes sea turtles, manta rays, and whale sharks.
