Marlin Lodge
'Mozambique Island Holidays on a group of islands known as The Bazaruto Archipelago'
 |
 |
 |
| Marlin Lodge is nestled amidst the island shoreline, idyllic dhow sails and achingly beautiful skylines. In the heart of Mozambique, the Bazaruto Archipelago has been named the Crown Jewels of the Western Indian Ocean. Benguerua Island is the diamond-encrusted tiara in this chain of pristine Islands. Built on elevated wooden stilts, the Lodge overlooks a tranquil Flamingo bay. Benguerra 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. At Marlin Lodge you can't escape the age-old rhythms of Africa, and the sense of history. There's the legacy of Portuguese carracks, trading dhows bearing slaves and ivory to the East and whispered legends of the Queen of Sheba's Ophir pearls. |

| Each day you'll be reminded of the Archipelago's colourful past as fishermen pole their beautiful dhows - a sight unaltered in centuries - out to catch the wind. The locals continue to live a laid-back island lifestyle. And late at night you may hear the pulse of distant drums. A perfect destination for those Mozambique Island holidays.
