Situated
on the romantic Mozambican isle of Benguerua,
Marlin Lodge offers the perfect paradise escape.
With dhow sails on the horizon and warm, translucent
water at your doorstep, often water temperatures
in summer reach 30 degrees Celsius. You'll think
you've landed on an island out of the pages
of fiction.
The lodge comprises 19 luxurious, reed-and-thatch
chalets with en-suite bathrooms, which have
private walkways leading to white tropical beaches.
Marlin's cuisine is a tantalizing blend of Africa
and Asia.
The lodge has a pool, set in a glade of ilala
palms, perfect for a lazy day of tropical cocktails.
Or try the many activities on offer, such as
a thrilling ride on skis, water snake, or para
-sail; or slip across aquamarine shallows on
a sailboard or catamaran.
There are also plenty of world-class snorkeling
and diving sites near the lodge while the fishing
here is legendary. Round-island tours as well
as visits to the mainland and nearby islands
are also on offer.
When the sun melts over the mainland, ghost
along on a dhow sundowner cruise listening to
the sibilant splash of the bow wave and flutter
of canvas as the sail catches the last of the
day's breath.
