Marlin's 19 En-Suite Chalets stretch along the beach of Flamingo Bay. Each sea-facing chalet has a private patio with a walkway down to the sandy white beach. The wood-reed-and-thatch chalets are a blend of elegance and African Island beauty. Decorated with a hue of creams, browns, and slight blues, the chalets reflect luxury and essential comfort.

An elegant elevated wooden structures snakes along the back of the chalets, connecting them to the main area, and is beautifully integrated into the sensitive Island environment. The center-piece is a living-dining area where one can retreat from the African sun. The freshwater pool is set in a glade of Coconut and Ilala palms.

Benguera Island was originally named “Santa Antonio” by Portuguese explorers and was later named “Benguera” after a local Tribal chief. The island is approximately 11km in length and 5,5km wide and lays 14km offshore from the mainland and the town of Vilanculos.

Scale the highest dunes during a round-the-island tour, or enjoy a catered picnic on a deserted isle. Slip across translucent shallows on a sailboard, or fly a haul on one of Marlin' catamarans. Seek the deserted islands in the Archipelago on a exquisite motorised yacht. And when the day turns, watch the sun set over the ocean while softly sailing along on a dhow sundowner cruise.
