General information
Vamizi Island, in the Quirimbas Archipelago is an idyllic Mozambique island resort offering luxury Indian Ocean holidays. Part of the Maluane region, Vamizi is blessed with turtles, beaches, scuba diving and fishing and is an ideal romantic honeymoons destination as well as being perfect as an add on to your African safari.
The lodge is built at the end of a twelve kilometre beach and each of the 12 self contained cottages has a spacious living room, a spectacular bathroom, and a breezy veranda. The cottages are spaced a good distance apart to offer plenty of privacy, and have a footpath leading from the veranda down to the beach.
The island of Vamizi has clear blue water, abundant marine life, and thick, untouched coral reefs. The island is covered with thick forests of acacia, hibiscus and casuarina trees. The lodge is set on the north side of the island and set on the edge of indigenous tropical forest looking out across a white beach to the Indian Ocean beyond.
A marine survey has identified 350 species of fish and a great diversity of unbleached coral reefs around Vamizi Island. Sixteen different dive sites have been identified, from shallow dives for beginners to vertical (wall) dives for the more experienced diver. All diving and snorkeling equipment is available at Vamizi Island.

Vamizi Island lies off the coast of northern Mozambique, in the Quirimbas Archipelago. The Archipelago consists of 32 tropical coral islands and stretches for 100 km along the coast from Pemba to the Ruvuma River, the natural border between Mozambique and Tanzania.
Rooms
Vamizi Island has 10 spacious, ocean-facing beach villas (165 square metres in size and spaced 70metres apart). Each of the palm-thatched villas, with king-sized beds and en-suite bathrooms, looks out over its own stretch of beach. A private sitting room, with cane sofas and colonial-style planters chairs, leads from the bedroom. On the outside deck and on the beach, there are sun chairs and Swahili daybeds, perfect for an afternoon of lazy beach bliss. Two of the villas are family-orientated, with 2 spacious bedrooms per villa divided by a large common area.
Activities
Vamizi hospitality includes all activities from diving and snorkelling to deep sea fishing, walking and birding and sea kayaking. Turtles use the islands to hatch and there are various other ecology-related activities which are enormously interesting. Dhow trips are the way to reach secluded coves, crying out to be picnicked upon and relax in the bosom of nature with select friends.
Dining
The main dining room is open and expansive, with a sunset bar located close to the water’s edge. Fresh local ingredients spice up the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean flavors, with fresh fish, prawns in season, calamari, lobster, crab and crayfish cooked to perfection.
