Marlin Lodge

Mozambique's Bazaruto Archipelago is known as the 'Crown Jewels of the Western Indian Ocean'. Benguerra Island is a glittering gem in this chain of islands and Marlin Lodge is the perfect spot for a magical escape. At Marlin you can't escape the age-old rhythms of Africa, the heady 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 - harvesting their crops, cashew trees and the ocean's bounty.

Highlights

  • Idyllic sandy palm fringed beaches
  • Step back in time with the fishing communities and sailing dhows
  • Perfect sunsets
  • Great snorkelling and diving

Viewpoints
