Indigo Bay Island Resort and Spa
Imagine the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, palm trees and white sand dunes. Add to it a tropical climate, unspoiled beauty and untouched coral reefs and combine this with 180 species of birds, four different kinds of whales, five species of dolphin and all five species of marine sea turtle. To this mix, add yourself and your family and prepare yourself for the ultimate beach holiday escape at Indigo Bay Island Resort and Spa.
Located on Bazaruto Island, one of the continent’s premier scuba diving and game fishing sites, Indigo Bay Island Resort caters to nature lovers. With no shops on the island, the focus of this unspoilt holiday spot is on the memorable water and land activities and total relaxation.
At Indigo Bay Resort you will find everything you need to create the perfect family holiday. Whether you stay at the beach chalets or luxury villas, you will enjoy understated elegance. The buildings have been carefully constructed with the surrounding land and seascapes in mind using materials like reed, soft fringed thatch and wood which blend seamlessly with nature. In an effort to maintain the history of the island, original walls dating as far back as early Portuguese traders are integrated into the design. The interiors are spacious, comfortable and stylish with classic furnishings and modern amenities such as air-conditioning, 24-hour power, satellite TV and mini-bars. The resort includes a restaurant which specialises in local seafood, bars and a spa. Spend a day dozing beside the fantastic swimming pools, enjoy a cocktail at the wet bar or visit the beach snack bar. And don’t forget to spend a few hours at the Sanctuary Spa for all your pampering needs.
With so many ways to relax at Indigo Bay Resort it would be easy to forget the outdoor action. Dive or snorkel in a training pool or in some of the most beautiful dive sites in the world. Located near the Bazaruto National Marine Park - you will find an astounding variety of sea life. Swim with Moray Eels and Stingrays, Barracuda and Kingfish.
Speaking of fish, the deep Mozambique Channel allow guest to experience incredible game fishing. Try your hand against Giant Black Marlin, Sailfish and Wahoo. There’s no such thing as a ‘bad fishing day’ on the Island and if you want to simply enjoy the ocean a boat ride may be just the ticket. Watch for whales or the ancient seafarer’s mermaid (dugong) or go to nearby deserted Paradise Island for a true change of pace.
If you haven’t quite acquired your sea-legs, have no fear. There are plenty of land based activities to enjoy. Explore the island on horseback, discovering the forests, lakes and sandy shores. With riding lessons and a horse to accommodate every level of rider - donning your chaps and hat couldn’t be easier. If you prefer 4x4’s to four legs, island drives are also available. Explore the nearby village, a 19th century lighthouse and the amazing flora and fauna of Bazaruto Island. Or for the more active adventurer why not try dune boarding. This low-skill, high-adrenaline sport is popular among children and adults alike.
Whether you are into land or water sports, relaxation or luxury spa treatments, you’ll find this luxury beach holiday retreat will tick all the boxes.
