On December 12, 2012, a wildfire originating in the bush surrounding Marlin Lodge spread to the property causing damage to some of the lodge’s suites as well as the lodge’s main building. All guests were safely and promptly evacuated and relocated to other properties on the island.

Following this incident, Marlin Lodge is currently CLOSED and reconstruction and refurbishment is scheduled to commence. A confirmed opening date of the lodge will be communicated soonest.

Please CONTACT US for options at neighbouring resorts, like AZURA BENGUERRA, or ANANTARA BAZARUTO ISLAND RESORT & SPA.

We will continue to keep clients informed on the progress of the refurbishment, and we look forward to welcoming you back to the new and improved Marlin Lodge.
