Casa Rex

Large, well kept and manicured gardens surround the hotel grounds and two swimming pools overlooking the beautiful bay of Vilanculos. There is a distinct homely feel to Casa Rex, uncomplicated crafted furnishings and large comfortable chairs in the communal lounge areas. A shaded patio area allows for outside dining facing out towards the gardens, which you can walk down a large amount of steps to reach the beach, but be sure you are prepared for the walk back up!

The 15 different types of rooms retain a neat and uncomplicated decorative air, light cream linen and charming wooden framed shutters. Comfortable poster beds trimmed with mosquito netting, air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms make for a very pleasant stay. Neat little patios allow you to take advantage of the ocean breeze and views over the bay providing you are on the upper floors, but the shade of garden rooms furthest from the main lodge are also affordably comfortable.

Being a boat ride away from the Bazaruto Archipelago you are surrounded by a bounty of tropical island reef waters and marine life expect to spend a lot of time near or in the blue warm waters. Most water sports like scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing and kayaking can be arranged through the lodge. This is some of Mozambique's top areas for scuba diving, so think about taking lessons before you arrive to maximise your experience.
