Quirimbas Island Holiday
Unveiling the Hidden
Paradise of Quirimbas
Embark on a journey to the Quirimbas Archipelago, one of the most remote and untouched beach holiday destinations in the world, located off the northern coast of Mozambique. This collection of 27 coral islands extends 250 km along the coastline, offering pristine tropical holiday locations.
Ibo Island, the best-known of the Quirimbas, is a magical island with swaying coconut palms and powdery beaches. It offers a unique blend of culture and architecture, giving visitors a glimpse into its fascinating history, including tales of pirates and high-sea adventures. Explore the Quirimba National Park, which encompasses 11 of the southernmost islands of the archipelago, and discover the marine reserve’s waters teeming with whale sharks, dugongs, and humpback whales.
As expected from such an idyllic tropical location, scuba diving and snorkelling are highly recommended, as the warm waters are home to colourful coral reefs and a magnificent array of marine species. Other activities include sailing trips, fishing excursions, and sunset cruises on traditional dhows. Your Quirimbas island holiday can be as relaxing or fun-filled as you choose, with almost deserted stretches of beach inviting you to soak up the sun or enjoy romantic picnics for two.
A holiday in the Quirimbas Archipelago promises a blend of relaxation and adventure amidst untouched beauty and historical enchantment, set in a paradise scarcely touched by time.
