The Bazaruto Marine National Park around Indigo Bay offers some of the finest and most unexplored diving in the world with untouched coral reefs and an astounding diversity of marine species. A dazzling array of fish, from Moray Eels and Stingrays to Barracuda, Kingfish and other pelagic game fish can be spotted whilst diving here in tropical waters that seldom drop below 26c degrees.

Environment and local community

All the resorts and hotels we feature have been specially chosen for the quality of service they provide and their responsible attitude towards the local area. We believe passionately that the correct development of tourism throughout the third world is a major contributor to protecting the environment and improving quality of life for the people that live there.

Indigo Bay and Rani Resorts has built community centres, implemented AIDS and malaria prevention programmes, provided transport facilities and access to water for local islanders and stimulated the establishment of community market gardens to supply fresh produce to Indigo Bay. The education and training needs of local people remains Rani's focus with the building of schools and initiating adult literacy programmes. Also on Bazaruto Island, Rani has formed a partnership with local communities to conserve the ecosystem and assist the Bazaruto National Park staff with transport, communication and health care facilities. Monitoring the location of turtle nesting sites, teaching the importance of conserving local marine life and working with the authorities to counter illegal fishing activities is a priority as well as implementing a tag and release policy for fishing activities in conjunction with Durban's Oceanographic Institute (ORI).

Our opinion

Indigo Bay Beach Resort and Spa is a luxury resort worthy of its 5 stars. The facilities are excellent and the range of activities is phenomenal. This resort is prefect for couples, romantics, divers and is one of the better options for families.

We found that despite being larger than some of the other properties in Mozambique it retained a quiet, tranquil and soothing aura.

This property is well suited for couples, groups and families as there is plenty to do for all ages.
