The Quirimbas Archipelago
Pemba
Nacala Bay

Northern Mozambique has only recently started opening up to tourism, with the advantage that there are not many people yet visiting this unspoilt and uncommercialised area. Pristine coastlines, warm and clear waters, secluded island retreats and reefs as yet untouched by the masses, this makes a perfect destination for anyone wanting to truly get away from it all.

The Quirimbas Archipelago – a group of coral islands stretching for almost 100 kilometres along the Mozambiquan coast. This area of wilderness, islands, bays and open sea is a marine protected area and offers some of the richest coral reefs in the world, providing the habitat for an abundant array of marine life. With exquisite tropical island hideaways, spectacular snorkelling and scuba diving, and a diverse culture, this area remains an unexplored traveller’s paradise.

Pemba, located on one of the largest bays in the world, lies at the southernmost point of the Quirimbas National Park. The area around Pemba offers turquoise seas, palm fringed beaches, excellent diving, gamefishing and thrilling foot safaris. Tourism has, as yet, not had a negative impact on this environment and this is the perfect time to visit this untouched paradise. Individually designed chalets overlooking a secluded bay, private beaches, excellent scuba diving and game-fishing, and exciting walking safaris into the National Park, Pemba is an easily accessible holiday option.

Nacala Bay – nestled high above the bay, this secluded retreat offers a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. With spectacular diving, traditional dhow sailing, spearfishing for enthusiasts, a private island hideaway and Humpback Whales that come right up to the lodge in season, this is a place you will not want to leave. Personalised service and a friendly atmosphere ensure that guests return again and again. Nearby Mozambique Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers an unparalleled cultural and historical experience.
