Marlin Lodge, Luxury Lodge, Benguerra Island, Mozambique

Marlin Lodge is situated on Benguerua Island in the Bazaruto Archipelago. This chain of islands – because of their exquisite beauty – have been named “ Crown Jewels” of the Western Indian Ocean
There are 14 Luxury Beach chalets and 3 Executive Beach Suites
The Executive Beach suite's sheer size is what makes them so breathtaking. Boasting with 80sqm floor space, and a veranda of 30sqm, this room is the perfect haven for the discerning traveler. Similar to the Luxury Beach Suites, the inside is constructed with more sophisticated finishes such as slated flooring, plastered surfaces and soft lighting.
The Marlin Lodge Beach chalets, also before known as the Private Luxury chalets, are set just above the beach, sea facing, and only a few steps from the white sands of flamingo bay beach.
Each of the Luxury beach chalets is 60sqm on the inside and 17sqm veranda. The verandah is also a perfect location for a private dinner for two. The inside of the chalets is constructed with sophisticated designed finishes, including slated flooring, plastered surfaces and soft lighting.
Guests are treated to the finest cuisine and warmest hospitality in a tranquil and friendly atmosphere
Upon arrival at Vilanculos International Airport en route to Marlin Lodge on Benguerua Island, you plan to relax and enjoy yourself.
Here are opportunities to water-ski, yacht, Knee boarding and water snaking for the adventurous bird watching excursions or a leisurely cruise while enjoying the spectacular sunset over the Indian Ocean. Romantic picnics on deserted beaches of breathtaking white sand.
Then, of course there are the underwater attractions of this abundantly populated area of ocean. The Bazaruto Archipelago, of which Benguerua Island is a part, was declared a National Marine Park in 1971. On visiting Marlin Lodge you will quietly praise those who had the foresight to protect the area.

In the shallow water, small, nervous fish nibble brightly colored coral and playful dolphins disturb the occasional somber dugong. Further out in the deep channels lurk those creatures that so many come to this area to see Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo and others that provide an equal challenge.
Kingfish, Queenfish, Dorado and Barracuda come in with the tide to do some angling of their own.There are two ways to closely experience this aquatic beauty: go down to it - clad in a wetsuit and with a tank on your back - or bring it up to you with the help of a sturdy fishing rod.
Each has its own rewards - swimming through coral forests with dolphins as your companions for instance is a heady experience.
But few experiences come close to the thrill of hooking a Marlin.
The fish on the deck means a proud picture, an epic story for the folk’s back home and succulent steaks for dinner. A sudden slacking of the line, however, means a return trip to paradise and that, somewhere out of sight the symbol and essence of Marlin Lodge live on.
Back on shore, the wood, Luxury Marlin lodge welcomes the exhausted explorers.
Share your experiences with other guests and enjoy exquisite cuisine, before eventually retiring to your room to enjoy something else you may have forgotten existed - silence
Drift into a somber rest with the sound of the waves lapping gently against the beach.
