Dugong Beach Lodge | Vilanculos | Mozambique
Luxurious Self Catering & Bed and Breakfast lodge - RE-OPENING SOON 		 
                     
   
On the mainland, a short boat transfer from Vilanculos town, Dugong Lodge stands on a long beach.

It has ten large tented suites with polished wooden floors, and an en-suite bathroom with a huge bath and an outdoor shower. The central lounge dining area is open on one side to a sundeck, inset with a small freshwater pool. Activities possible here, payable locally, include fishing and scuba diving, although the best reefs are distant – around the Bazaruto Archipelago.
