The laid-back Machangulo Beach Lodge is set on a hillside in a private nature reserve on the southern Mozambican coastline, with the Indian Ocean on one side & the calm estuaries of Maputo Bay on the other.
Experience The untamed & untouched Southern Mozambican coastline plays host to jaw-dropping ocean views, pristine beaches & an abundance of marine life.
The resort is located around an hour’s boat ride from Maputo & can also be reached by road on a scenic 4x4 transfer from the Kruger.
Excellent diving & snorkelling can be enjoyed straight from the beach, or by boat & guests can also explore some of the Indian Ocean’s best fishing sites.
Stay Machangulo Beach Lodge boasts 5 ocean-view chalets, 2 beach villas & 2 family villas that are connected by walkways & staircases to the main buildings & the beach.
Each air-conditioned ocean-view chalet is perched high on a hillside & features an en-suite bathroom & private viewing deck with views of the Indian Ocean & Inhaca Island. These chalets are located a 2-minute walk from the beach down several stairs.
The beach villas are set a stone’s throw from the ocean’s edge & consist of 2 en-suite bedrooms, separated by a large wooden deck with partial sea views.
For families, the larger 2-bedroom family villa is ideal. Both rooms have en-suite facilities that lead off from an open-plan living area with a lounge, bar, dining area & kitchenette. Outside on the deck, you will find a private plunge pool with jaw-dropping ocean views.
Communal areas include a lower deck with a plunge pool & an upper deck with a beach bar, sunken lookout lounge & restaurant where meals are served overlooking the ocean & bay.
