Bazaruto Island is one of five principal islands in the Bazaruto Archipelago, which lies just 30 kilometres off the coast of Vilanculos in Inhambane Province, Mozambique. It is the largest of all the islands, approximately 37 kilometres long and up to 7 kilometres wide. Bazaruto Island is part of the Bazaruto Archipelago National Park, one of the largest conservation areas in the Indian Ocean.
Indigo Bay Island Resort offers exclusive island accommodation of the best possible standards, yet is understated and elegant with an emphasis on making the most of the superb location on the golden shores of Bazaruto Island.
Diving
The whole Bazaruto Archipelago is an ecological gem that has been granted National Park status. It falls into the Eastern African Marine Ecoregion, which stretches over a 4,600 Km coastline, from South Africa to Somalia.
The islands boast over 2 000 fish species, 100 hard and 27 soft corals and at least four whale and five dolphin species. It is particularly important as a refuge to lovable Dugongs that have largely been hunted to the brink of extinction. Bazaruto has the largest remaining population in East Africa.
