AsDunas Lodge

What a privilege to spend my birthday with the AsDunas team at their new location, A Pousada na Praia! First of all, thank you to the entire staff who made our stay truly unforgettable — from the breakfast to the aperitifs (the best Bloody Mary I’ve ever had!) and the gourmet tasting dinners. Well done! And a big thank you for organizing so many activities for us. Once you arrive, you don’t have to worry about a thing — Chelsie and Orkidyo will help you find the most authentic experiences to enjoy. What can I say… I can’t wait to come back!

We visited AsDunas in March for a special 50th celebration and had a truly wonderful time. The staff are so welcoming, Chelsea, Jaime, Joao, Boa and all the team worked so hard everyday to show us a good time. The resort is beautiful and maintained consistently by a huge staff, for whom nothing is too much trouble. The owners/management work closely with the local community to support job opportunities and training young people. The suites are super comfortable and the mesh sided tent gave a real close to nature experience - walking up to the waves was genuinely magical. There was a filtered water dispenser in the room which we thought a great idea, much better than the constant stream of plastic bottles we’ve experienced elsewhere. Everyday bought new food, prepared to the highest standard. Amazing breakfasts made to order, three course lunches and 6 course dinners. All high quality produce and the chef went to great lengths to accommodate my slightly nervous palate! Ive never experienced such consistently high quality food, displayed so beautifully. These dinners by moonlight everyday were a true highlight. Another option was the sunset on the dunes, the staff helpfully carry drinks and chairs up for you and it’s a spectacular view. Though I would note, the route is for the sure footed and not the faint hearted! We found it a little daunting to be honest and only went up once. Daily massages were available and Chelsea went to great lengths to ensure we could schedule them each day, even when we left the resort for excursions. A real treat to be massaged so frequently! All in all, a wonderful place and we would love to return one day. Can’t recommend AsDunas highly enough.

We had a simply spectacular stay at the asDunas Lodge. The rooms are private and beautifully laid out with a private pool. We had a wonderful view over the Indian Ocean to watch the sunrise. Each meal was gourmet and absolutely delicious. - Boaventura, Joao, and Filipe provided incredible service and the daily massages brought relaxation. Be sure to climb the dunes to catch the sunset.

We spent the most wonderful 5 nights at this beautiful lodge. We were collected from the airport by the very competent manageress, Chelsea. From the moment we arrived, we felt we had arrived in paradise . All the staff are so friendly, helpful and made us feel so special. The owner, Fabio’s ( top chef) produced Michelin star meals daily, hence us being a few kilos heavier when we arrived back home The daily spa treatments were pure bliss. We left feeling we were saying goodby to friends. Thank you to Riaz, Chelsea and team for making our stay so memorable….. we will definitely be back soon. Kevin & Cheryl Campbell

We had a fantastic stay at AsDunas. The service was very personal and it was clear everything had been thought through to make our visit relaxing and enjoyable. The team catered extremely well for gluten-free, which ensured our whole family could make the most of the fantastic food on offer - the food takes centre stage and is a real treat! The location itself is so beautiful, from the beach a few steps away, to the unbelievably stunning islands of Bazaruto and Santa Carolina (which fully deserves its nickname: Paradise Island) and the sunsets on the Red Dune itself. A lovely highlight was when they sang to our daughter on her birthday and again to us all as we left – small touches that made a big difference from the always friendly and attentive AsDunas team. Both the manager, Chelsie and the owner, Fabio, went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect. Their hands-on approach showed in the overall experience. I would absolutely recommend AsDunas as the place to stay for anyone visiting Mozambique.

Fantastic place to stay in a great setting, The staff are all very friendly, the food was amazing. We stayed in a tented suite which is a great concept and way more luxurious than we thought. We also had great relaxing massages every day, Hope to come back and see you all again. Thanks to Chelsie and Reaz and the rest of the team for a truly great experience and a real unique family feel, which is not something you usually get.
