Sulula Mozambique (formerly Anvil Bay)
Located within Maputo National Park in southern Mozambique, where the African wilderness meets the Indian Ocean, Sulula Mozambique offers a distinctive blend of beach, safari and nature-based experiences. Formerly known as Anvil Bay, the lodge has entered an exciting new chapter, retaining its extraordinary coastline and natural surroundings while introducing a refreshed experience, refurbished villas and a new identity.
Set along a protected stretch of pristine coastline, Sulula invites guests to discover the freedom of moving between bush and beach, wildlife and ocean, adventure and stillness. From guided wildlife experiences and ocean adventures to turtle nesting encounters, whale watching and moments of relaxation beside the sea, each stay is shaped around the natural rhythms of this remarkable landscape.
Women-founded and with 40% local community ownership, Sulula places meaningful connections, conservation and responsible tourism at the heart of its approach. It is the first of a growing collection of extraordinary places, each rooted in its own landscape and community, and connected by a shared philosophy of travelling with greater ease, curiosity and purpose.
