Aquarius Lodge is situated in Bilene just 20 meters from the water.
This quiet town, known as San Martino in the days of Portuguese Mozambique, is located on a hill overlooking the sprawling waters of the Uembje Lagoon. It is a massive body of about 8 km wide and 27 km long, plunging down to depths of 50 metres, but so shallow near the shores that it’s perfect for children.
Although the white sands and crystal clear lagoon make you feel as if you are in Greece, this is real Africa with rolling sand dunes, lush vegetation and just a boat ride away, the powerful breakers of the Indian Ocean.

The beach is full of broken glaas and rusted tins. Needs to be cleaned up.
As a lot of south africans are visiting Bilene the DSTV must be upgraded to include a varaity of channels.

Very nice accommodation and good food at a reasonable price. Awesome sights and very picturesque next to the lagoon.
Only problem is that the staff at reception need to learn ENGLISH and customer relations; then this would be an excellent choice for the average South African
