Safety

5/10

Crime is rising in tourist destinations, and beaches and offshore islands have limited policing; avoid isolated areas after dark, secure valuables, and arrange reliable transport and boat operators.

Natural disaster resilience

2/10

Vilankulo's exposed Indian Ocean setting brings high cyclone, storm-surge, coastal-flood, and erosion risk, with heavy rain, extreme heat, drought, and service outages adding to seasonal disruption.
