Quirimbas Archipelago Island Holidays

It's not often the world gets a new corner to explore, but the relatively unknown Quirimbas Archipelago (also spelled Querimbas) is rapidly becoming Mozambique's hottest destination. Previously inaccessible, this has now changed with increased flights opening up this magical world of beautiful tropical islands.

The archipelago is made up of 27 coral islands strung along Mozambique's northern coast, from Pemba to the Tanzanian border. Many are uninhabited, and Quirimbas accommodation is limited to a handful of luxurious lodges and romantic beach bungalows, so it's easy to find an empty stretch of beach or virgin reef all to yourself.

Seclusion, a laidback rhythm of life, a rich marine world and crystal clear water; these are a few of the draw cards of a Quirimbas Archipelago island holiday.

Coconut palms, incredible coral reefs and powder-white beaches line small private islands like Matemo and Quilalea. Add to this bucketfuls of luxury and a fantastic range of activities, and you're looking at the perfect off-the-beaten track escape.

11 of the southernmost islands are included in the Quirimba National Park, established to help protect the wide range of marine life that includes whale sharks, humpback whales, dolphins and dugongs.

Ibo Island is probably the most visited of the islands due to its unique blend of culture and architecture, and fascinating history.

Whether you're on honeymoon, wanting a bit of solitude, an avid diver or part of a group of friends or family; a Quirimbas island holiday gives you the chance to get away from it all, and find a secluded little piece of paradise to live out your Robinson Crusoe fantasies - in luxury.
