Pestana Bazaruto Lodge Hotel

 is situated in the largest island of the Bazaruto Archipelago, approximately 600 km to the north of Maputo, the capital of Mozambique. The island is 35 Km in length and 7 km across at the widest point, and is a little piece of paradise! There are five weekly flights from Maputo to Vilanculos, one daily from Johannesburg to Vilanculos and bi weekly flights from Nelspruit and Harare to Vilanculos. From there, daily transfers to Bazaruto Island are available and coincide with most of the flights arriving from Maputo and South Africa. This transfer is done by a small 9-seater plane and the flight lasts approximately 20 minutes. This is a memorable trip. It is possible to accommodate private charters and planes.

The island of Bazaruto is undoubtedly a beautiful and unexplored destination, characterised by its wildlife, turquoise waters and idyllic beaches, all carefully protected as a Natural Reserve.The Pestana Bazaruto Lodge hotel is situated in a bay on the north side of the island. This setting offers a unique combination of beauty, security and relaxation that makes it the perfect spot for lovers and nature lovers, as well as divers and sea sports enthusiasts, especially fishing. Bazaruto Island is the perfect paradise to forget the daily stresses of city life. The impressive beauty of the coral reefs complements this subtropical ecosystem, enriched by the abundance and rare beauty of the tropical fish. The archipelago is deservedly known as the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean". Pestana Bazaruto Lodge has just been completely renovated!
