Dugong Beach Lodge is situated on the East-African seaboard, on the coast on Mozambique within the boundaries of the “Vilanculos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary”, the first privately managed specially protected National Park in Mozambique . Located on 30 000 hectares of pristine Marine and wildlife territory, it provides a unique beach & wilderness experience in a hidden corner of sub – tropical Africa.
This diverse eco – system of wilderness and wetland, with its powder white beaches and crystal clear water is host to a magnificent array of fish, dolphin and most importantly, the nearly extinct “Atlantic Dugong” (which resembles a sea lion). Shallow and deepwater reefs reveal beautiful creatures such as the great leatherback turtles, sailfish and manta ray.
Deep- sea fishing of marlin and barracuda is truly spectacular and the large flocks of flamingos and pelicans are sight to behold.
Accommodation
The lodge offers 12 luxuriously appointed, air-conditioned chalets (14 bedrooms, as two units are villas consisting of 2 bedrooms) with direct access to the beach via individual walkways. Each villa has 2 bedrooms and a plunge pool. All rooms have outdoor showers and twin beds can be converted to double beds.
