In the heart of Mozambique, amidst pristine island shorelines, idyllic dhow sails andachingly beautiful sunsets, lies quintessential Marlin Lodge. Built on elivated wooden stilts, the Lodge overlooks a tranquil Flamingo bay.Formed hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Bazaruto Archipelago is a result of mass sand deposits by the waters of the Limpopo River, and is now host to over 2000 fish species and over a hundred coral species. From sand dunes to freshwater lakes and acacia woodlands, Benguerua Island is a diverse ecological gem. While nature’s finest marine-life swim veiled below the surface of opaque waters, upward the skies are alighted by beautiful birdlife. Marlin Lodge is settled peacefully within its environment like an oasis in perfect harmony with its unscathed surroundings. Benguera Island was originally named “Santa Antonio” by Portuguese explorers and was later named “Benguera” after a local Tribal chief. The island is approximately 11km in length and 5,5km wide and lays 14km offshore from the mainland and the town of Vilanculos. It offers privacy as an island destination, and is protected by the lush surroundings.
