10 days london to London [HB]

An exquisite island resort, situated on the idyllic and pristine Bazaruto Island, Indigo Bay offers visitors the quintessential Indian Ocean island holiday, as well as a gateway to the unspoilt beauty of the Bazaruto Archipelago. On land, Nile Crocodiles can still be seen in the shallow lakes and pools, as well as Samango Monkey, Lesser Bushbaby and Red Duiker. There are more than 180 species of birds, including vast flocks of pelicans and flamingos and 26 species of waders.

The lodge is right on the beach, between the Indian Ocean on one side and towering sand dunes on the other. Constructed to blend harmoniously with its surroundings, and of natural materials, the luxury, but understated, chalets overlook the ocean, are air-conditioned and fully mosquito screened, with en-suite bathrooms, mini-bar, 24 hour power, satellite TV and telephone access. Indigo Bay specialises in seafood barbecues and the restaurant, with its breathtaking views, serves local Mozambican Portuguese cuisine. There is also a patio bar, swimming pool and wet pool bar. The PADI dive centre can arrange trips to nearby reefs as well as courses. Additional activities are dune boarding, 4x4 scenic island drives, horse riding, snorkelling, water-skiing, kayaking and wind surfing.
