Chalet

The chalets at Bazaruto Lodge are all constructed in the same way; the difference between the deluxe rooms and the standard rooms is entirely due to their location. Their design is exactly the same.

However – the deluxe rooms at Bazaruto Lodge are set next to the beach, and the standard rooms are set slightly further back, behind the deluxe rooms; these are in and area of vegetation, without any sea views. Because the deluxe rooms all look out onto the beach and sea – and the price difference is relatively small, we usually recommend the deluxe chalets to our travellers.

All the chalets at Bazaruto Lodge are simple but well-equipped and of A-frame thatched design (see our slide show on the right to see what we mean!).

The bedrooms look out through floor-to-ceiling glass doors onto the veranda, where there are a couple of chairs. (In fact ... the rooms to the right of the bar, as you look at the sea, have French doors, which swing open. The chalets to the left of the bar have glass sliding doors.)

All the bedrooms are furnished with twin or double beds, large four-poster mosquito nets, bedside tables, reading lights, a dressing table and mirror, and large chest. Each room at Bazaruto Lodge has tea and coffee making facilities, a television, air-conditioning and a fan. They are simply decorated with painted screed floors, white walls, and bamboo ceilings. The beds are made up with white cotton linen and plum-coloured quilts.

To the rear of each room at Bazaruto Lodge is the brightly decorated bathroom, which is equipped with a single circular stone basin and mirror, an integrated bath-tub and a separate toilet cubicle. There are shelves and hanging space here, along with a key safe and shaver's socket. Through a door out to the back, there is an enclosed outside shower, open to the sky.

In the bathroom you are well provided for with insect spray and repellent, soap, shower gel, shampoo, body lotion, bottled water, tissues, towels, flannels and dressing gowns.
