Mozambique Islands
Archetypal Indian Ocean Archipelagos
The Mozambique Islands are amongst the Indian Ocean's best kept secrets. The islands offer the quintessential tropical island experience - palm trees swaying in the breeze, endless white sandy beaches and clear azure seas - and some of the most luxurious and sophisticated hotels, lodges and resorts to be found anywhere in the world.

Mozambique Islands Overview
If you harbour a desert island fantasy, the Mozambique Islands offer a rare opportunity to turn this into a reality. Unwind on deserted, sun-kissed beaches, swim in warm clear waters and explore some of the world's richest coral reefs.
Discover an ocean dotted with tropical islands, sailing on an ancient Arab Dhow - still built to the same design as the vessels which a thousand years ago sailed from India. Stay in boutique hotels and luxury lodges, and dine on the freshest of seafood.
The Mozambique Islands are the perfect antidote to the stresses of modern life, offering a magical holiday experience in a tropical paradise as yet untainted by mass tourism. Pure escapism!
