A combination of stunning beaches and amazing local culture and trade history awaits at Coral Lodge. The property is situated on the peninsular of an unspoilt nature reserve, only a short boat trip away from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ilha de Mozambique. The little island, once the capital of Mozambique, still looks like it did 300 years ago so a visit to the island is quite a time travel experience. The property is a blend of contemporary design, Mozambique style and simplicity whilst giving the utmost respect to the surroundings. The beach sanctuary has just 10 luxury villas so personal service and attention to detail is assured. Coral Lodge has the allure of a remote beach destination combined with some of the best cultural and historical experiences the country has to offer.
