Quirimbas-Vamizi Island Honeymoon Vacation
The Quirimbas Archipelago (or ‘Ilhas Quirimbas’ in Portuguese) is a beautiful string of 32 islands lying far north of Maputo. Stretching more than 100 kilometres along the coastline, the Quirimbas Islands offer unique, unspoilt accommodation choices for visitors all year round.

Beaches and waters in the Ilhas Quirimbas are still largely unpopulated and unexplored therefore ecologically pristine.
The 11 southernmost islands and part of the mainland are protected under the Quirimbas Marine National Park. Book the ultimate Mozambique Honeymoon experience in beach lodges, luxury resorts and rustic cabins – settled on white sands and looking into stunning sunsets over the ocean.

Quirimbas Archipelago Accommodation is designed to merge with the perfect landscape. Visitors can immerse themselves in the culture, the ancient history reflected in many old settlements and buildings or ruins. Ocean safaris, islands hopping day trips, water sports galore and relaxing dhow cruises make a holiday to these islands unforgettable. The Quirimbas Archipelago offers traditional Mozambican food combined with European and Arabic flavours. Try giant prawns, crab and freshly caught sailfish! Juicy fruits and delicious coconut rice are a typical accompaniment with most meals. Be sure to experience the Mozambican piri-piri – Portuguese in origin and made from crushed chillies.

Diving in the Quirimbas Archipelago reveals hundreds of identified marine species and new sites are continually being discovered. Flights to this part of Mozambique land on the mainland and charter flights land on several of the islands. Previously very inaccessible, this destination has opened up – take a beach holiday now to the Quirimbas Archipelago and never look back.

Vamizi Island Package
For barefoot luxury at its best, Vamizi Island is luxury and breeziness combined, a unique Mozambique Island Destination in the Quirimbas Archipelago in the warm Indian Ocean.

The Quirimbas Archipelago is the perfect island destination for honeymoon couples and families alike.

The rich indigenous bush is home to Samango monkeys, coconut crabs, butterflies and hundreds of endemic bird species.

Mozambique beckons with its coastline and swaying palms, its traditions, its cultures, its vibe and –most of all – its opportunities for adventure. This enigmatic southeast African country is well off most travelers’ maps, but it has much to offer those who venture here: long, dune-fringed beaches, turquoise waters abounding in shoals of colourful fish, well-preserved corals, remote archipelagos in the north, pounding surf in the south and graceful dhows with billowing sails. Most safaris to Mozambique incorporate a bush experience, visiting the untamed Transfrontier Peace Park and/or the Maputo Elephant Reserve. You also get to experience Mozambique’s rich culture and colonial past in the towns and cities visited during safaris, as well as the exotic cuisine and abundant fresh seafood of this beautiful country.

Add to this colonial-style architecture, pulsating nightlife, an endlessly fascinating cultural mix and vast tracks of bush populated with elephants, lions and birds galore. Discovering these attractions is not always easy, but it is unfailingly rewarding. Bring along some patience, a tolerance for long bus rides and a sense of adventure, and jump in for the journey of a lifetime.

Mozambique stretches for 1,535 mi (2,470 km) along Africa’s southeast coast. Tanzania is to the north; Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe to the west; and South Africa and Swaziland to the south. The country is generally a low-lying plateau broken up by 25 sizable rivers that flow into the Indian Ocean. The largest is the Zambezi, which provides access to central Africa
