Luxury Mozambique Holidays

Why book your luxury Mozambique holiday with us

Mozambique’s coastline and offshore islands have remained wonderfully unspoilt. Here, primeval mangrove swamps alternate with powder-white beaches – and low-impact development is being carefully and successfully integrated with a unique marine habitat. The diving and fishing are superb and a handful of fabulous barefoot-luxury hideaways have been created.

On a tailor-made adventure holiday in Mozambique, explore the idyllic Bazaruto Archipelago, with its breathtaking white-sand beaches and vibrant coral reefs, perfect for diving and snorkeling. Discover the raw beauty of the Quirimbas Islands, dotted with private hideaways, providing an exclusive experience surrounded by abounding nature and crystal-clear waters.

While the longer journey time may attract the more dedicated traveller to Mozambique, the lesser-explored regions in this destination are simply stunning and unquestionably rewarding, making the effort to get there truly worthwhile.

Our Destination Expert’s top tip

Beaches in Mozambique are beautiful and the general consensus is the harder it is to get there – the better rewards, so avoid the easy ones and make the effort to find the gems

Sussurro, Vilanculos

Sussurro, Vilanculos

Seated on the secluded shores of a warm turquoise lagoon in Southern Mozambique, Sussurro is a thoughtfully designed space for you to align with nature and immerse yourself in a more meaningful travel experience.

The consciously crafted and extremely beautiful private bungalows provide a vast amount of personal space and include indoor and outdoor bathing facilities and generous water front verandahs.

Santorini, Vilanculos

Santorini, Vilanculos

This luxurious but unpretentious boutique hotel lies above Kingfisher Bay, near Vilanculos.

Designed in the style of a Greek villa, it may seem a little out of place in its wild African setting, but this only adds to the appeal for many people. It has a laid-back atmosphere, a young vibe and immaculate, whitewashed suites, with neutral hues and tasteful splashes of colour. Depending on your budget, we recommend the two-bedroom Chapel, which can be booked for exclusive use. There’s also a good spa, offering treatments, herbal teas and fruit infusions.

Azura Benguerra, The Bazaruto Archipelago

Azura Benguerra, The Bazaruto Archipelago

Azura Benguerra, the first eco-friendly resort in Mozambique, was hand-built by the local community and is operated in partnership with it.

Just 20 villas are nestled along one of the last undiscovered stretches of beach in the world, plus sparkling private pools, Mozambican butler-hosts, fish and seafood fresh from the ocean, a fantastic range of activities and experiences and an African spa. The lodge is also a five-star PADI dive centre with training pool, and 20 minutes by boat from some of the best snorkelling and diving in east Africa.

What our clients say

Quote

Santorini Mozambique was a total paradise. Our room was amazing with incredible views. We loved our private boat trip to a nearby island. It was a great few days to really relax and recharge before heading home. The hosts were friendly and thoughtful, and it was such a lovely surprise that they framed one of our wedding photos as a leaving present and arranged for us to have pudding on the final night on our balcony. (Thank you so much for the Champagne, by the way!) Sergio, our personal host, transformed the whole stay with his kindness. This genuinely could not have been a better place to stay on our honeymoon and we are saving up to return!
