<div class="font_8">
<i>Silver</i></div>
<div class="font_8">
Beautifully hand crafted
silver jewellery, created by skilled artisans on Ibo Island in northern
Mozambique, who learned their craft from early Arab traders, is always a
popular purchase. The delicate, filigree design of the unique pieces,
which cannot be found anywhere else in the world, is testimony to their
skill - a unique, affordable gift for someone special.</div>
<div class="font_8">
<br /></div>
<div class="font_8">
<i>Recycling</i></div>
<div class="font_8">
Founded
in 2007, ALMA is a Tofo based company backed by concerned individuals
and businesses anxious about the increasing waste being generated in
this area of great natural beauty. Working with volunteers in
collaboration with the local Municipality, the company started with
small projects such as beach cleaning, however it has now developed into
a considerable recycling operation, generating craft from products many
consider trash. Pot mats made from recycled newspapers or capalana
covered bottle tops and place mats made from reclaimed crisp packets,
illustrate just a few of their unique items which are light to carry and
form a great talking point back home.</div>
<div class="font_8">
<br /></div>
<div class="font_8">
<i>Beauty in bone</i></div>
<div class="font_8">
Astrid
Sulger is a Swiss born designer who now lives in Mozambique. She has
researched and written a book on the history of the Makonde people who
reside predominantly in northern Mozambique and Tanzania. These early
inhabitants are known for their exceptional skill in carving hard woods
and it was perhaps from this influence that Astrid created her
extraordinary jewellery made from cow horn. Astrid has trained many
local, previously unemployed, craftsmen and the company is now producing
and exporting pieces that are both individual and exceptional.</div>
<div class="font_8">
<br /></div>
<div class="font_8">
<i>Ladies</i></div>
<div class="font_8">
Bags
made from colourful African prints and leather are the speciality of
Pirikito a Maputo based design house. The fabrics are made using the hot
wax method creating traditional designs, each one individual, unique
and carefully manufactured. A personal gift for a special lady.</div>
<div class="font_8">
<br /></div>
<div class="font_8">
<i>Beauty</i></div>
<div class="font_8">
With
its focus on wellness and good health Bahia Mar was careful about the
skin and beauty products they sourced for the Gallery. Bom natural skin
and hair products are Mozambican made, utilising only natural oils and
plant extracts, rich in essential oils and minerals. With no added
preservatives or colourants, this luxury body line is a proud addition
to our gift range.</div>
<div class="font_8">
<br /></div>
<div class="font_8">
<i>Snacks</i></div>
<div class="font_8">
Food
has not been forgotten and the Gallery stocks a select range which make
perfect gifts and mementos. Local coffee, honey, peri-peri, cashew
butter and flowers of the sea – a mineral rich, locally harvested salt,
along with dried fruit are easily transported back home, import
restrictions permitting!</div>

<i>“Our guests can enjoy two training sessions on the premises every day. We balance cardio, weights and circuit training in the program. Morning workouts are one on one with your personal trainer before breakfast, targeting a specific muscle group every day. Evening fitness programs in the retreats are in groups, looking more at guided aerial fitness, yoga or REAX raft training on our infinity pool overlooking the Bazaruto Archipelago sunset. That said, should guests prefer to only work with a personal trainer and not as part of a group, this could also be arranged</i><i>”</i>, says Susana Vidal, founder and visionary of the Bahia Mar Retreats Mozambique.</div>

<b><br /></b>
<b>Stunned by the facts detailed herein, Bahia Mar has been making every effort </b><br />
<b>to be ‘plastic pro-active’ and environmentally sensitive.</b></div>
<br />
<b>Our commitment</b><br />
Here, where we are surrounded by nature’s majesty, we feel a special responsibility. We are very concerned about the critical situation in our oceans and accordingly have a strict recycling policy. We are one of only two companies in the area who contract an outside organisation to handle our recyclables, the other being global giant Sasol.<br />
<br />
Furthermore we are currently looking for ways to reduce our plastic dependence. ‘Indestructible’ glass straws have been ordered and our bottled water purchases are under review as we investigate filtered glass drinking water.<br />
<br />
We are also in the process of changing our take-away containers to biodegradable and we have moved away from individual amenities in the rooms in favour of bulk dispensers.<br />
<br />
<b>Beach cleaning</b><br />
To assist our ocean dwelling creatures and to do our share to protect our wonderful coral reefs, our beach cleaning crew leaded by Aldo – a otherwise unemployed young man, – routinely gather plastic and rubbish on the beachfront from Hotel Dona Ana to Vilanculos Beach Lodge. They pick up an average of 35 sacks of rubbish each time, most of it plastic, keeping our beachfront pristine for everyone.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilN1Fkq16p5y164-f7jiGugnzMMHR0_Ad9uYgyrud7otXRgpyjae123LAqgPdWl8_SV57ChUgDzJWHsZ2Rr7pH4-CiIsAdc_SHk9xORUlBrv5CWoxQEcfDbazgArHhHKQNWNehu-66LP7p/s1600/Beach+Clean+Team.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="809" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilN1Fkq16p5y164-f7jiGugnzMMHR0_Ad9uYgyrud7otXRgpyjae123LAqgPdWl8_SV57ChUgDzJWHsZ2Rr7pH4-CiIsAdc_SHk9xORUlBrv5CWoxQEcfDbazgArHhHKQNWNehu-66LP7p/s320/Beach+Clean+Team.jpg" width="320" /></a>We are making a contribution, even though it seems small, because we believe if everyone did just one thing to reduce plastic dependence we can hopefully reverse the sheer volume which is destroying our beautiful, precious planet. We believe that the facts detailed here are simply too serious to ignore.<br />
<br />
<b>Dire situation</b><br />
Nature is a scientifically designed entity – perfectly developed and balanced for harmony and regeneration from now until eternity. At least that was the master plan at the dawn of creation, however one thing was not factored into the equation – man!<br />
<br />
The need for speed and convenience to address the demands of busy schedules and lifestyles has resulted in the development of ‘instant fix’ products and materials, with plastic topping the list. Light, convenient and above all disposable, plastic appeared to be the perfect solution to a myriad of container issues. So perfect in fact that we are now producing nearly 300 million tons of plastic every year, half of which is for single use. 14% of all litter comes from plastic.<br />
<br />
We have developed a ‘disposable’ lifestyle and estimates are that around 50% of plastic is thrown away, eight hundred million tons of which is dumped into our oceans every year.<br />
<br />
<b>Packaging</b><br />
Packaging is the largest market segment accounting for just over 40% of total plastic usage. The reality is astonishing:<br />
• Annually some 500 billion plastic bags are used worldwide. More than one million bags are used every minute.<br />
• A plastic bag has an average “working life” of 15 minutes.<br />
• Over the last ten years we have produced more plastic than during the whole of the last century.<br />
• The process of producing bottled water requires around 6 times as much water per bottle as there is in the container.<br />
<br />
<b>Human Impact</b><br />
Once in the ocean, the 150 million tons of plastic litter dumped annually affects the safety of sea transport, fisheries, tourism and recreation. When broken up into tiny pieces, plastic attracts toxic chemicals released over decades from industry and agriculture. Plastic is indigestible, often razor sharp and chemically toxic. The negative effect of digesting plastic on the creatures that inhabit our oceans has reached catastrophic proportions.<br />

<b>What’s the solution?</b><br />
What can we all do to reduce our plastic dependence and save our planet? Here are a few guidelines.<br />
<br />
<i>Wean yourself off disposable plastics.</i><br />
Ninety percent of the plastic items in our daily lives are used once and then thrown away. <br />
<br />
<i>Stop buying water in plastic bottles.</i><br />
Each year, close to 20 billion plastic bottles are tossed in the trash. Filter your own and save.<br />

<br />
<i>Left over savvy</i><br />
Bring your own food-storage containers to restaurants for leftovers.<br />
<br />
<i>Recycle</i><br />
It seems obvious, but we’re not doing a great job of it. Make it a focus in your home. It’s simple once it becomes a habit and makes a huge difference.<br />
<br />
<i>Be a custodian</i><br />

We can dive on Two Mile Reef — one of the world’s best dive sites and visit the flamingos who make the Bazaruto Archipelago their home.<br />
<br />
Dining on fresh seafood and fish is integral to our lifestyle — our visitors enjoy it too!<br />
<br />
But will this all be here for the next generation to enjoy? The reality is it won’t, unless each and every one of us commits to protecting earth right now. <b> </b><br />

We entered our beautiful monohole luxury speedboat, Mothassane, into the annual Big Blue Vilankulo Sailfish Competition - in aid of our beloved community project Bonguilli, aiding pre-school education in the area. Our three fisherwoman (Susana, Gretha and Dee) were as new to fishing as their vessel and not many believed they actually stood a chance. Never the less, they prepared for 5 days of hard fishing on the high seas and Mothassane and the ladies, exceeded almost everyone’s expectations: The Mothassane Mermaids landed an overall second place and caught the biggest Whahoo of the week, weighing in at 21,5 kg!<br />

“I learnt so much about fishing and the greater Billfish family in the 5 days at sea.” Dee Lourens (our social media manager and photographer ) said after an exhausting week. “Our Captain Alex was meticulous and patient, teaching us exactly what to do when a fish strikes, why it was important to tagg them and what scientists from the Billfish Foundation actually do with genetic samples gathered from the fish’s fins prior to release.<br />

More than anything I think I got a new appreciation for the incredible place we are so fortunate to call home, why it is important to share the beauties of the Archipelago with our guests and more so: that we have an incredible boat to do so.”<br />

Mothassane has always been known as one of the most comfortable boats in Vilankulo - boasting with a pimping lounge in the bow - but she also has ample space for rods and tackle. We can now assure guests that besides snorkelling, island hopping and water-sports, our queen of the sea will be able to meet the expectation of many fisherman - from light trawling, jigging and popping. She is perfect.<br />

“I think what I like the most of Mothassane is her versatility. Not only can she accommodate an entire family, she can keep the entire family or group of people happy - at the same time!”, Dee continued. “While dad hopes for a few tight lines at the back and on the sides of the vessel, mom can sunbathe in the front, or enjoy the beauty of the sea in the shade.”<br />

Three ladies from Bahia Mar Boutique Hotel will be entering the 6th annual Big Blue Vilankulo Sailfish Competition between 22 and 26 May. They will raise funds for our community project Bonguilli- aiding preschool education and infrastructure in the area - they also hope to give the boys a serious run for their money.<br />
<br />
This is the first year in the history of the competition that an all girls team will be entering. even though these ladies are not experienced anglers, they are confident that with the help of local billfish legend, Duarte Rato, they secured the right skipper and might very well have beginners luck on their side.<br />
<br />

We are thrilled to bring you some exciting news... Bahia Mar Club is in the process of constructing Garden Suites with the same natural flair and beautiful style you have experienced in the Seaview Bedrooms and Beach Suites. These will be on the same level as the main guest areas and nestled in the lush gardens surrounding Bahia Mar.<br />
<br />
This means that we will then be able to accommodate guests with mobility problems as they will not need to negotiate the stairs and cosy pathways which wrap around the rooms lower down the dunes. Completion of the Garden Suites is expected between December 2017 and January 2018. Keep an eye on our newsletters for further updates!<br />
<br />
Until building is complete, please confer with reservations should you have elderly clients or clients with any form of mobility issues, as we want to make sure everybody is looked after and leaves Bahia Mar Club smiling.Bahia Mar Boutique Hotelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16624075681942084382noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227819072369731353.post-77878647816337739322017-02-17T04:18:00.000-08:002017-02-17T04:18:10.749-08:00Mothassane is the name of our new boat!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Young, enthusiastic and very talented, 27 year old Nelson Manabele, our new Executive Chef, is proving to be a genuine asset to the Bahia Mar team.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="266" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/d4a6628097e5868d52de6bad5/images/b1dfafcc-84c2-429e-8a0e-bf5cc4c58322.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of five children born and schooled in Maputo, Nelson was unable to go to university and so chose to attend the Hotel School Andalucia in Maputo where he studied for 18 months. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A six-month kitchen practical followed his training which he served at the Pestana Rovuma Hotel </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and Conference Centre, also in Maputo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spending the next year assisting his businessman father provided an insight into commercial enterprise, but the kitchen was calling! A cousin associated with the tourism industry put Nelson’s name forward for a position as commis chef at the famous Azura Lodge on Benguerra Island </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where he worked under a South African trained chef. “I learned a lot from Chef Mika” Nelson explains and my two years there provided a great opportunity for growth”.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lights of the mainland beckoned however and, hearing about Bahia Mar, he sent his CV to Susana Vidal, the General Manager applying for a commis chef position and was appointed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Chef Dalida taught me so much, particularly about systems and controls” Nelson says “her protocols are still being implemented here and many of her special dishes remain on the menu”. When Dalida left Nelson was approached to fill the position of Executive Chef on a trial basis and three, successful, mouthwatering months later, he was officially appointed in that capacity on 1st October.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Supported by his enthusiastic team Nelson loves cooking seafood, curries and traditional dishes using an array of spices. A particular favourite is Caril de Amendoim Frango - Chicken peanut curry!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="213" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/d4a6628097e5868d52de6bad5/images/6a41ddbb-8fda-45fb-b010-140d158f0b16.png" width="320" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please don't hesitate to ask for Nelson if there are any aspects of a dish that you wish to chat to him about. Friendly and gregarious he will be delighted to share his knowledge with you.</div>

We were delighted when renowned South African photographer Dee Louw suggested she compile a portfolio of photographs of our local fishermen and women for sale, to boost the coffers.</div>
<div>
These exquisite, limited edition, framed photos will be exhibited from 15th December in the hotel foyer. Prints will also be available via our website from early December — delivered worldwide.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We want to put in another water pump to benefit the community in the area so the money from the sale of the photos will be put towards that as well as the ongoing running and maintenance of the school.</div>

The Bonguili Project is very close to the hearts of the management and staff of Bahia Mar. </div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Supporting a unique preschool — 5º Congresso Escola, which was founded in 2001, the hotel‘s funding is the primary income for this facility which empowers over 80 children. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Convening from 8 – 11am, the children learn the alphabet, to do basic sums and are taught necessary life skills through a child-friendly "learning through play" system. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The hotel initially provided the funding for six teachers throughout the community to train in the specific teaching method introduced, three of whom currently work at 5º Congresso. Ongoing financing is provided by Bahia Mar for the upkeep of the school and teachers‘ wages.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are only two classrooms but no-one is turned away and pupils include youngsters with albinism, Down Syndrome and other challenges. Extra classes, if necessary, are held under the Baobab Trees, accordingly the scholars have become known as "The Baobab Tree Kids".<br />

Since opening in early 2014, Bahia Mar Club has become so popular that we are already needing to expand to meet the demand!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
To address this and to provide a greater selection of premium accommodation, we are currently breaking ground on the western side of our property to facilitate the construction of a further 10 private guest suites.<br />
<br />
Set amongst the magnificent cashew nut trees, these modern, bespoke rooms will be perfect for families and for travellers who want to enjoy Bahia Mar's fantastic facilities and hospitality, at a truly agreeable rate.<br />
<br />
The new development will be built by local specialist construction engineers and is due to be completed before December 2017!<br />
<br />
Retaining the service of the Maputo-based architect who designed the original infrastructure, the suites will be constructed from natural material where possible creating a modern, tranquil atmosphere<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
There are interleading rooms for families and spacious, private verandas for relaxation.<br />
<br />
Complete with all the mod cons, it is expected that our 10 additional suites will enable us to share the special experience of a visit to this beautiful location with an ever growing number of valued guests.<br />

We have really been busy in paradise this month at <a href="http://www.bahiamarclub.com/">Bahia Mar</a>.</div>
<br />
<br />
We are in the process of giving our kitchen a complete overhaul to be able to prepare our delicious <a href="http://www.bahiamarclub.com/#!the-food/cj6j"><i>à la carte</i> menu</a> to perfection this festive season. We know that our restaurant will be full most nights, given the mouth-watering menu treats!<br />
<br />
Not only have we been working on our product, but we have been working on ourselves. We pride ourselves on service, and believe that we should spend as much time as possible polishing our already fine offering, and of course learning new things all the time. With this in mind, we decided to become<br />
ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified.<br />
The ISO 9001 addresses various aspects of quality management to ensure that our products and services consistently meet our guest’s requirements, and that quality is consistently improved.<br />
The ISO 14001 specifies requirements for an environmental management.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, during all this hard work, we always find time to relax with our new facial and body wraps.</div>

Mayara, a long awaited new arrival to Vilanculos, fills the niche for those wanting to explore the diverse beauty of the famous Bazaruto Archipelago in absolute comfort and style.<br />
Driven by two 350hp Volvo Penta engines, this 40ft luxury power boat is professionally managed by a highly trained three man crew and is available for either pre-planned, catered excursions or on a day hire basis for those wishing to chart their own course and stock up with their own provisions. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This elegant power boat, which sleeps four in complete comfort, is accompanied by either a 2.5m tender boat or a 6m rubber duck for those who want to add excitement to the cruise by enjoying the available water sports such as wake-boarding, skiing or tube rides.</div>

<div>
MAYARA is the perfect way to explore the islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago National Park.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Take the boat for the day, and explore to your hearts content!</div>
<div>
Visit Bazaruto Island and snorkel on the stunning 2 mile reef, or visit the historical Santa Carolina (Paradise Island)! Or maybe you just fancy a sunset cruise in the bay?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
From June to November the Mozambican coastline becomes a whale nursery as mothers come here to calf in the warm waters. Viewing these mighty mammals from the luxury of Mayara is an experience you will never forget. An extensive ‘picnic’ luncheon is served on the beautiful island of Benguerra, where you dine at elegantly laid tables, al fresco under shading.</div>
