Inhambane
Flamingo Bay Water Lodge is located in the province of Inhambane, 485 km north of Maputo, the capital of Mozambique. From the historical city of Inhambane, it is just a 30 minute drive through local villages and groves of tropical coconut forests that line the route to Flamingo Bay Water Lodge.
The lodge is situated on stilts in the crystal clear waters of Flamingo Bay in the Indian Ocean. Snorkelling along the reef and enjoying the myriad of colourful reef fish, fascinating corals and other marine life is one of the most popular activities, and masks, snorkel and fins are available for hire.
There is also a fully equipped dive centre with all the necessary facilities. The resident diving instructors offer professional tuition, and many courses are on offer.
Other activities include kayaking, catamaran yacht trips, charter boat fishing, Dhow trips, horse riding on the beach, quad bike trails, and sightseeing tours to Inhambane, which is steeped in history.
The 20 spacious, air conditioned, luxury chalets all have beautiful views and open onto a private balcony with loungers, where you can step off directly into the ocean for swimming and snorkelling when the tide is in.
The rooms are all linked by wooden walkways to the main guest area, which has a beautiful swimming pool, a library / lounge for catching up on a bit of light reading, a bar, coffee shop, and a restaurant. You can walk or catch a ride on the circulating golf cart to get access back and forth to your room.
