Mozambique on the east coast of the African continent has Tanzania to its north, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe to the west with Eswatini and South Africa to the south and hugs a stretch of the Indian Ocean coast considered to be Africa’s last unspoilt paradise. With a coastline of over 2,500 kilometres this paradise of endless dune fringed white beaches, dazzling coral reefs, strings of tiny tropical islands, marine reserves, World Heritage sites and colonial architecture is a vibrant blend of African, Arab and Portuguese influences. A Portuguese colony for over 450 years, Mozambique has emerged from years of conflict to become a destination renowned for its untouched wilderness ranging from lush game reserves to sun drenched tropical islands. The capital Maputo is a cosmopolitan city defined by its European architecture with cuisine influenced by its Portuguese heritage.
The Bazaruto Archipelago off the coast of southern Mozambique is a cluster of islands with four main islands – Benguerra, Bazaruto, Santa Carolina and Magaruque. Our unique collection of boutique luxury resorts on Benguerra and Bazaruto Island offer sandy beaches, pristine waters, coral reefs with a dazzling array of underwater marine life offer superb diving, snorkelling and fishing experiences.
The relatively unknown Quirimbas Archipelago in the north is a stunningly beautiful string of thirty two coral islands. In this isolated region the pristine warm waters are home to spectacular marine life and unspoilt white soft sand beaches. There are uninhabited islands and only a few of the islands offer beach hideaways.
