Quirimbas Archipelago, northern Mozambique
The Quirimbas Archipelago remains one of the last pristine marine
wilderness areas in the Indian Ocean. An exquisite lodge has been
created from where a small handful of guests can step out of beautifully
appointed private beach houses into a world of powder sands, virginal
reefs and secret coves. There are no TV’s and air conditioning here. Vamizi is the only lodge on the island, it has the space to spread wide and so each villa amply commands its own part of the beach.
A stay at Vamizi is the perfect end to safari to either South Africa
or Tanzania. There are regular scheduled flights between Johannesburg
and Pemba (the mainland town opposite the island), and scheduled
and private charters link Vamizi with the safari camps and lodges
of western, southern and northern Tanzania.
Summary:
13 villas, with one or two bedrooms, each with its large living room, spectacular bathroom and breezy veranda,
each house looks onto its own stretch of beach to maximise privacy.
A private sitting room leads from the bedroom and on the outside
deck and beach are sun loungers and Swahili day beds. Stretched
along the beach the main dining room, bar and sitting room have
all been created with open sitting areas and secluded corners. The
ocean is the larder for the excellent cuisine.

- World-class blue water fishing & fly-fishing
