Anvil Bay

Anvil Bay Lodge is an exclusive barefoot luxury beach camp situated within Mozambique's southernmost national park, the Maputo Special Reserve. Located at Ponta Chemucane, this pristine coastal wilderness destination offers an intimate experience with just eleven casinhas (cottages) nestled in the dune forest on stilted wooden decks, each featuring its own private beachfront access.

The lodge is designed with minimal environmental impact, utilizing canvas and thatch construction to preserve the natural wilderness setting. The main facilities include a centrally positioned beach bar, lounge, and restaurant, with accommodations strategically placed on either side to offer varying levels of privacy and seclusion.

Accommodation options include a Honeymoon Suite offering ultimate privacy, Luxury Casinhas with convertible king/twin bed configurations, Twin Casinhas that can accommodate an additional child, and a Family Casinha designed for up to four guests. All units feature en-suite bathrooms with both indoor and outdoor showers.

The property is accessible via multiple transport options, including a 30-minute helicopter transfer from Maputo International Airport, road transfers from various points, or self-drive for 4x4 enthusiasts. The lodge is uniquely positioned to offer both bush and beach experiences, with opportunities for game viewing in the reserve and marine activities along the pristine coastline.

Notable features include its community ownership structure, with the resort being operated by a trust established for the local community's benefit. The location offers guests the opportunity to experience Africa's wilderness as it has been for thousands of years, complete with spectacular sunrises over the ocean, sunsets across pristine lakes, and evenings under the stars around campfires.
