Marlin Lodge is located in a National Marine Park in Mozambique, lies an Archipelago an off shore islands known as the Bazaruto Archipelago. There are three main islands known as Margaruque, Benguerra and Bazaruto. On the second largest island, Benguerra, lies idyllic Marlin Lodge.
The Island is set amid translucent waters flecked with dhow sails and rich in marine life - an unspoilt paradise for those seeking a haven of peace, something extraordinary.
Benguerra Island was originally named “Santa Antonio” by Portuguese explorers and was later named Benguerra 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, 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. And late at night you may hear the pulse of distant drums.
