Situated, in the most southern section of the spectacular Quirimbas National Park, Situ Island forms part of the Quirimbas Archipelago ? 28 islands of which 11 are coral islands between the towns of Pemba in the south and Palma in the north.The resort is situated on a private island.  The lodge can accommodate up to 18 people. The 7 chalets are spread evenly between the main clubhouse and all have beachfront views. The chalets come standard with king size beds and/or 3 three-quarter beds with mosquito nets and various side tables and bamboo shelves with curtains. Each chalet has its own en suite shower, basin and toilet. Each chalet is very cozy at night with the bamboo walls letting in a much-needed breeze as it can get hot on this island.  The chalets have been newly painted and renovated.  They are cleaned daily and are very safe to leave your belongings.When you arrive at the lodge you will be the only people on the island.  On occasion we will receive passing visiting Yachts, but they do not stay over unless approval is received from our current guests.All rooms are en suite and make use of Solar Power to generate electricity and to heat water.  Your bungalow runs solely on solar power and as such you will have enough power and hot water as long as both are used conservatively.  Fresh water is a valuable commodity and we have a fully operational desalination plant.The Clubhouse has all the amenities you would require on a tropical island some of which are: coffee and tea area, a lounge with full DSTV for the sporting events you just cant miss, power plugs with multi adapters for all your charging needs, a honesty bar fridge stocked with local and international labels. The floor is beach sand and often you will encounter some audacious little hermit crabs wondering around looking for water, the natural roof provides the much-needed shade from the sun. There are also hammocks and seating areas around the clubhouse.The main beach at Situ is teaming with life with all sorts of shells washing up daily. The tides here are quite extraordinary with a change of 4 metres, it goes out quite far revealing structures of coral and sand.  When the tide is in you can swim and snorkel right in front of the clubhouse and around atolls which are teaming with juvenile species of friendly fish.Activities include diving, fishing charters, nature walks, visits to Ibo Island, snorkling.  If you dont dive then PADI scuba courses are presented on the island. The sea infront of the island is so calm that it counts as "confined" water according to PADI and you can use it as a swimming pool.  Book 7 nights for 35 600 metical (see below includes and excludes):Kids under 10 sharing with adults pay 60% of the adult price only after there are 6 adults in the group.THE RATE INCLUDESBoat transfer from to Pemba to Situ (1,5 to 2 hour trip) for 6 or more people.  If less than 6 people there will be a transfer cost per personAccommodation and 3 meals a day2 dives per day or 2 Ocean Safaris or FishingFree cylinders and weightsRefillsGuided nature walk across the island (2 to 3 hours)Snorkling from shore or by boatAdditional shore entry divesSitu Dive GuideSitu SkipperAll non motorised activities (canoeing, hiking etc)THE RATE EXCLUDESAir flight, please ask us if you want us to book your flight as we get a discounted rate with LAM Airlines - between R5500 to R6000 economy classFuel used during dives, depending on how far from island we dive (about R200 to R300 per day extra based on 6 divers)Fuel use during any other activity or excursion whilst on the islandKit Hire (R900 full kit hire per week or R200 full kit hire per day or R50 per item)Instructing of any PADI courses, see Situ PADI courses (available on request only)Night Dives at R400 pp (exclude rental of dive lights)Reserve Fees of 400 meticas (about R150) per week Situ is all about getting away from the usual trappings of everyday life, and you can really pack light. But there are a few items we suggest you don?t leave home without: Lightweight clothing is suitable year-round. Very casual beach wear and slops are ideal at Situ Resort. (Add a pair of wet shoes/crocs/rockies for walking on the reefs, plus proper soled shoes for some of the trails.) Wear caps or hats when in the sun. For the serious anglers we recommend you bring along the following: Spinning Gear: light tackle rods (Shimano Nexave or equivalent), spinning reel to match, with poppers, spoons, dropshot, jigs, rapalas, etc. Light Tackle trolling: the boats have 30lb and 50lb outfits on them. If you want to fish lighter, you need to bring your own gear and tackle. Terminal tackle: Bring your own including piano wire, traces, hooks, sampos, rigging materials, lures, CD 14 and CD 18 rapalas, halcos, softies (4 to 6 inch), konas etc. Fly-fishing: Bring your own outfits and fliesOur New Dive Centre is fully kitted out for Scuba Divers. But if you prefer to bring your own gear, we supply the weights and cylinders for free. Or you can save yourself all the hazzle and you can just rent our new MARES kit.  Please bring along your Scuba dive certification or your number. Although we have snorkeling gear, you may feel more comfortable bringing your own mask, gloves and flippers. Malaria is found in all areas of Mozambique and prophylaxis is therefore recommended for all visitors to Situ Island. Contact your local travel clinic for any other appropriate medication. Use Tabard or Peaceful Sleep cream/gel/spray before dusk and before bed, and please use the mosquito nets in your room. The tropical sun can be very hot ? bring along 30+ spf sunscreen to protect you as far as possible when in the sun. BOOZE Although we have alcoholic drinks we suggest you send us your wine, beer, and other liquor preferences so that we can stock up before you arrive. The resort?s bar operate on a honesty system and you will only pay for what you have used. You are welcome to bring your own drinks along as well.
