Tucked away in Mozambique’s pristine Maputo National Park (formerly Maputo Elephant Reserve), Anvil Bay is a private, eco-luxury beach camp offering an unparalleled barefoot escape. Nestled along an untouched stretch of coastline, this exclusive retreat is designed to blend seamlessly with nature, ensuring a minimal environmental footprint while providing ultimate comfort.
Set beneath a canopy of coastal forest, just 10 Casinhas (meaning “little homes”) offer guests a secluded sanctuary with direct access to the unspoiled white-sand beach. Built on raised wooden decks, each Casinha features a private en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers, a private dining deck, and a fully stocked minibar and beverage station. The thatched and canvas design allows for natural airflow, with roll-up sides that bring the outdoors in.
A True Wilderness Paradise
Anvil Bay is more than just a beach retreat—it’s an invitation to immerse yourself in the raw beauty of Mozambique’s protected coastline. Spend your days exploring crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life, embarking on guided nature walks through lush forests, or discovering the park’s serene lakes and vast savannas. Whether you seek relaxation or adventure, this hidden paradise offers an idyllic setting to reconnect with nature.
Unforgettable Experiences Await
With minimal outdoor lighting to protect nesting turtles and preserve the brilliance of the African night sky, Anvil Bay offers an authentic and sustainable escape, perfect for those seeking an exclusive, off-the-grid paradise.
Whether you’re unwinding after an exhilarating safari or searching for an untouched, eco-friendly beach retreat, Anvil Bay promises an unforgettable wilderness experience.
The pristine waters of Southern Mozambique’s Indian Ocean are home to an incredible diversity of marine life, including four of the world’s seven sea turtle species—Loggerhead, Leatherback, Hawksbill, and Green turtles. These ancient marine reptiles can often be spotted gliding gracefully through the waves or surfacing for air while on an Ocean Safari adventure.
Beyond their presence in the water, this coastline is one of the most important turtle nesting grounds in the region, providing a safe haven for Loggerhead and Leatherback turtles to lay their eggs. The annual turtle nesting season officially begins on October 1st and extends through March 31st, offering guests a rare opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures emerging from the sea to nest on the moonlit shores.
During hatching season, lucky visitors may even witness the heartwarming sight of tiny hatchlings making their first journey to the ocean, guided by the light of the stars. To protect this delicate ecosystem, Anvil Bay follows strict conservation guidelines, including minimal lighting to prevent disorienting hatchlings and ensuring that all guests have a low-impact, eco-conscious experience.
From unforgettable marine encounters to untouched, wild beaches teeming with life, Anvil Bay offers a truly unique opportunity to experience nature in its purest form.
Anvil Bay is a paradise for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike, offering an incredible array of activities both on land and at sea. Whether you’re looking for thrill, relaxation, or an intimate encounter with nature, this untouched coastal wilderness has something for everyone.
Marine Encounters: Explore the pristine waters on a guided ocean safari, where you may get the chance to swim with wild dolphins, spot sea turtles, or witness the awe-inspiring migration of humpback whales (June to November). Snorkel over vibrant coral reefs teeming with tropical fish or dive into the deeper waters for a chance to see larger marine species.
Water Adventures: Paddle along the calm, crystal-clear coastline on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) or kayak, allowing you to take in the beauty of the shoreline from a unique perspective. If you prefer a little more adrenaline, boogie boarding or body surfing in the warm Mozambique waves is a must.
Land Explorations: Wander through the dune forest trails, a hidden world of indigenous flora and fauna, or enjoy a peaceful stroll along the untouched white sand beach. For a truly magical experience, take an early morning or sunset beach walk, where you might spot ghost crabs scuttling across the sand or even the tracks of nesting sea turtles.
Unwind & Relax: If pure relaxation is what you’re after, lounge on the beach with a refreshing drink in hand, soaking in the sounds of the ocean and the gentle sea breeze. As night falls, gather around a crackling fire under a blanket of stars, with the Milky Way illuminating the sky—an experience that’s truly unforgettable.
Whether you’re diving into adventure or indulging in the tranquility of nature, Anvil Bay offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with the rhythms of the wild.
