Dugong Beach Lodge is situated on the mainland coast of Mozambique within the boundaries of the"Vilanculos Coastal Wildlife Sanctuary".

The lodge offers 10 air-conditioned chalets with en suite bathrooms and outdoor shower with direct access to the beach via individual walkways.

All rooms are sea-facing with private decks where private dinners can be enjoyed, and day beds where your own personal "wellness" treatments can be carried out.  There are also 2 luxury villas each with two bedrooms and a plunge pool.

There is a centrally located restaurant that serves a variety of fresh seafood and other cuisine alongside an interflowing swimming pool with an island-style bar and "martini" seats with great views of the ocean.

There is a full range of activities here which are obviously weighted towards watersports including diving, snorkelling, fishing, sailing and kayaking, however there are also walking trails, bird watching and other mainland tours available.

This is a very good mid range cost option as an alternative to the higher priced lodges on the outlying islands. The only drawback being the fact that it cannot deliver on the full tropical island feel.
