Bazaruto Archipelago

Located just off the Mozambique mainland is the tropical island paradise of the Bazaruto Archipelago.  With multiple aquatic activities as well as village tours, hiking, bird watching or horse riding on offer, there are multiple activities to keep the active happy. Endless deserted beaches with sugary white sands and turquoise waters is what you can expect from your beach holiday here.

Other popular beach and honeymoon destinations are Vilanculos, Pemba, Inhambane, the Quirimbas islands and Bazaruto and Benguerra islands.

Accommodation in Mozambique

Accommodation on the islands and beach resorts is typically in modern and well-appointed luxury air conditioned suites.  Lodge size is kept relatively small providing for a more exclusive and private beach experience.  Although not provided in every suite, modern conveniences such as internet and phone can usually be accessed through the main lodge facilities.
