Islands off Mozambique

Mozambique and the archipelagos clustered around the mainland, couldn’t be any closer to that fantasy vision of a perfect island holiday; from the crystal clear, calm water to the wide, snow-white beaches and swaying coconut palms, Mozambique has it all.

Bazaruto Archipelago

Opposite the coastal town of Vilanculos, which is part of the mainland, lies a chain of magnificent islands – the Bazaruto Archipelago.

The string of small islands, including Bazaruto and Benguerra, form a Marine National Park, each of them impossibly idyllic, with soft white beaches, warm, clear blue sea with miles upon miles of reefs, masses of soaring palm trees and quaint little villages.

If you’re looking for a dream island getaway, wake up to the natural paradise island of Bazaruto, where bird life tops 240 species, fishing is first class, beaches are breathtaking and the snorkelling and scuba diving is superb.

Due to its ideal location and proximity to South Africa, you can spend the morning on a ‘Big Five’ game drive in the heart of the Kruger National Park, and be on this paradise island in time to enjoy a cocktail and watch the sun set...

Quirimbas Archipelago

In the far north of Mozambique lies Pemba Bay, the third largest natural bay in the world and the heart of Pemba city. Thanks to the modern port, the international airport, world-class hotels and restaurants, the charm of the old city, coupled with fantastic diving and fishing, Pemba is a tourist haven.

To the north lies the Quirimbas Archipelago, made up of 32 coral islands including the tiny resort island of Matemo and Medjumbe, offering the ultimate tropical island getaway – intimate, personal, romantic and very private. This area has never been developed and remains mostly an unexplored paradise escape of azure water and postcard perfect beaches.
