Benguerua Island, Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique

Marlin Lodge is situated on the south-west shore of Benguerua Island, the second largest island in the Bazaruto Archipelago off the coast of Mozambique. This unspoilt area offers some of the finest scuba diving sites and deep-sea fishing in the world.

The lodge comprises 21 chalets built on stilts with wooden decks, reed walls and thatched roofs. All rooms are connected by elevated walkways and are en-suite with their own private veranda, and a wooden walkway leading down to the beach. The lodge also offers a swimming pool, beautiful recreation areas and a friendly atmosphere where guests can choose to be as involved in activities, or be as secluded and private as they want. This makes Marlin ideal for travelling families and honeymoon couples escaping for a few days.

Wonderful palm trees set in indigenous gardens surround the whole lodge, and the sea views are spectacular. The water temperature ranges between 23°C and 26°C. This makes scuba diving and snorkelling, combined with a picnic lunch on one of the many beautiful island beach locations, very popular. Other activities include ski paddling, windsurfing, hobie cat sailing and island drives.

Experienced chefs prepare dinners of a wide array of seafood specialties. Dinners are served in the main dining area or on the beach in front of the lodge, where a wonderful selection of seafood is prepared over open fires on the beach.

Marlin Lodge accepts children of all ages.
