Machangulo Beach Lodge

Machangulo Beach Lodge offers barefoot luxury in Southern Mozambique. 

The resort is set on the hillside overlooking long, untouched beaches and blue seas. Each naturally-constructed building is decorated with colourful African decorations and wooden furniture. All bedrooms come with 24/7 air conditioning.

There is a pool with seating area and sun loungers, there's a full PADI dive centre with on site, and the beach is less than 10 minutes' walk from every part of the resort. 

As specialists in rest and relaxation, picnics, walks and drinks on deserted beaches are encouraged, as well as spa treatments, snorkeling, birding, fishing, kayaking and local cultural or nature-based tours.

Arrival

• The lodge offers boat transfers between Maputo and the lodge (advance notice required, additional cost). 
• As a rule of thumb, when booking flights aim for morning arrival and afternoon departure. 
• Boat transfers are tide and weather dependant and therefore are not guaranteed available at all times of the day. Please confirm availability before booking your flights. 
• Please note that if a boat needs to be cancelled due to unforeseen weather circumstances, guests will need to book alternative accomodation in Maputo and claim these charges from thier travel insurance, lost bed nights at Machengulo Beach Lodge will not be refunded or substituted with hotel nights in Maputo, and will need to be claimed from travel insurance.
• You might not be the only guest on the boat, so please be courteous and observe the skipper's instructions. Once at the lodge, you will be asked to disembark from the boat into ankle deep water.
• Due to it's location, the lodge is easier to access than any other luxury beach lodge in Mozambique. 
• There is only one boat departure from the lodge and one boat departure from the Maputo Marina per day, so it is important that all guests are on time for transfers as these transfer times cannot be changed at short notice. If a guest misses a transfer, the guest will be responsible for a private boat charter (which are not always available) and hotel accommodation should it be required. 
• Land transfers from South Africa are available on request (advance notice required, additional cost). It is also possible to drive yourself. If you would like to drive, please let us know so that we can offer route advice. 
• Check in time is 2pm.

• The boat usually leaves the lodge for Maputo at 10:30am and returns at 1:30pm.
