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
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.
