Quirimbas Islands Mozambique
The Quirimbas Archipelago Islands are the place to forget the world and relax in tranquility, luxury and comfort in an idyllic setting off the coast of Mozambique. There are 27 islands in the Quirimbas Archipelago in the far north of Mozambique, 11 of these quirimbas islands fall under the protection of The Quirimbas National Park which covers an area of over one and a half thousand square meters (1522 sq meters). As well as pristine beaches and exclusive beach resorts the Quirimbas is home to Ibo Island, one of the most ancient settlements in Mozambique, as early as AD600 Arab traders established trading routes with local communities. |

The Quirimbas Island Archipelago is recognised by Cognoscenti as the world's best diving and fishing destination. This exotic and beautiful location stretches from Pemba Bay to the city of Palma in the far north of Mozambique, and some of the islands in the south are included in the Quirimbas National Park. Plane charters are available from Pemba, or some of lodges on the islands provide boat access from Quissanga (you will need your own transport to get to Quissanga). |

Quirimba Island was an important Muslim trade centre before the arrival of the Portuguese and later served as a missionary centre. Today Quirimba is a private island and forms a coconut plantation with palm trees as far as the eye can see.
Quilálea Luxury Private Island
Quilálea Island has been leading the way for private island resorts in the Quirimbas archipelago since it opened a few years ago described by the London Evening Standard as "a jewel in Africa, upliftingly well done". Quilálea was nominated as one of 5 best islands and top 101 destinations in the world by Tattler Travel: "Where life is suite and the rooms are va-va-voom!"
