This thatched beachfront lodge on the northwest coast of Benguerra Island in the Bazaruto Archipelago oozes understated elegance. Known for its eco- and community-friendly management style, the charismatic local staff know their surroundings intimately and will look after your every need – most of them even help to build the lodge! Take advantage of the attentive hospitality, enjoy the bucket-load of activities on offer (kayaking, snorkelling, diving and star gazing to name a few), or simply relax on a recliner with a book and let the days unfold at their own leisurely, easy-going pace.

The lodge offers a variety of accommodation, all echoing the style of the main lodge. Villa Amizade and the Presidential Villa are ideal for family groups; 10 Infinity Beach Villas have prime beachfront locations; the Beach Villas combine Afro-chic style and beach views; and the trio of Beach Villas, although still roomy, are the smallest of the properties and perfect for intimacy and romance. All are spacious and luxurious, with private pools, comfy furnishings, coffee stations, air-conditioning and en-suite bathrooms.
The finishing touches and immaculate attention to detail. Enjoy yoga in the morning? You’ll find a mat on your deck. Fancy a massage? Head to the spa and it’s yours at the drop of a hat.
If you’re there on a Sunday, join in a game of football with the local community. It’s a fun way to spend the afternoon – and an excuse to have an extra G&T at sundown!
There’s only Wifi in the main area. A bonus, surely?! Well, yes – but if you’d like to connect in the privacy of your room, it might be a downside.
