Mozambique Getaway

A honeymoon in Mozambique paints a vivid picture: bright blue skies, pristine white sands, and a shimmering aquamarine sea await you. While Mozambique’s mainland boasts a variety of lively beach spots, for pure romance, you can hardly find a better option than the enchanting tropical islands dotting its coastline – and fortunately, you have two stunning archipelagos at your disposal.

The five shimmering islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago rest just off the southern coast of Mozambique, showcasing the vibrant and laid-back Portuguese influences of its rich heritage. Immerse yourself in blissful days, gliding through warm, serene waters, wandering along untouched, soft sandy shores, and savoring freshly caught seafood delights. Benguerra and Bazaruto, two of the larger islands, offer luxurious and secluded accommodations – an ideal romantic retreat to unwind after a day filled with sun and sea adventures.

The Quirimbas Archipelago, situated off the northern coast of Mozambique, offers an enchanting escape for honeymooners in search of a secluded, unique island adventure. Among the 27 coral islands that form the Quirimbas, most remain untouched by human presence; the few that offer accommodation feature a select number of opulent lodges and charming beach bungalows, scattered alongside secluded beaches where you can effortlessly discover a stretch of sand just for you. For the ultimate island fantasy, we’d recommend a stay on Medjumbe Private Island, a destination so small and intimate you can wander around the entire island without encountering another footprint.

The untouched coral reefs surrounding both archipelagoes are filled with a variety of amazing marine creatures, and what could be more exhilarating for a honeymoon than diving into these vibrant waters on a snorkeling or scuba diving adventure? Across the islands, a plethora of exhilarating activities awaits to get your heart racing: glide through the waters on a tandem kayak, cast your line for deep-sea fishing, or celebrate the sunset on a charming dhow sailboat cruise.
