Bazaruto Island
Bazaruto Island is one of five principal islands in the Bazaruto Archipelago, which lies just 30km off the coast of Vilanculos in the Inhambane Province of Mozambique.

It is the largest of all the islands, approximately 37km long and up to 7km wide. Bazaruto Island is part of the Bazaruto Archipelago National Park, one of the largest conservation areas in the Indian Ocean.

At Bazaruto you will find the perfect blend of a jealously guarded sub-tropical eco-system, within which lies a unique getaway destination for discerning adventures.

Allow yourself to be embraced by the magic of the Island as you unwind and rediscover the natural joy of Africa's last unspoiled paradise.

Accommodation
The accommodation at Bazaruto Lodge Island Resort is in rustic A-frame thatch chalets nestling among the forested sand dunes at the north point of Bazaruto Island, just below the lighthouse.

There are 26 comfortable, neatly appointed thatched chalets with en-suite bathrooms, which are serviced daily. All chalets are equipped with ceiling fans and mosquito nets. The water is filtered and generally safe to drink.

The Lodge restaurant caters to the enthusiastic appetite of guests with a variety of delicious fresh seafood served daily.

The attractive open-air bar encourages guests to meet new friends, while a sundown trip on a Dhow provides a breath-taking way to end the day. The well-stocked bar has Portuguese and South African wines.
