The region

The exact coordinates for Coral Lodge 15.41 are part of our name, i.e. 15 degrees south latitude and 41 degrees east longitude. In other words: we are located in the north of Mozambique. The area around us is called Varanda, a privately-owned nature reserve with dunes, beaches and mangroves. Varanda lies at the tip of a peninsula and is only a short distance from Ilha de Moçambique (Mozambique Island), the former capital of Mozambique. After the civil war ended in 1992, Mozambique has enjoyed a stable political climate and a growing economy. Tourism is fast becoming one of the country’s key resources, but the area around Coral Lodge 15.41 is still largely untouched. The sometimes rugged but unspoiled terrain and friendliness of the local people are a testament to this.
