Marlin lodge

Situated on the south western shore of Benguerua Island where balmy, tropical weather relaxes you, warm, azure waters refresh you and peaceful tranquility renews you.

Mozambican hardwood, reed-clad brick walls and thatched ‘jecca’ roofs create a lodge that sits in perfect harmony with its pristine natural surroundings. The natural plant life is carefully preserved by elevated wooden walkways that connect the seascape Beach Suites to the main areas. Attention to detail, soft, inviting furnishings and colours that reflect the lush island greenery and sparkling blue ocean, complete the picture.

At Marlin Lodge you are free to surrender to a nonchalant way of life. This is where time slows down and lasting memories of unhurried bliss are made.
