À vivre

At the heart of the Quirimbas Archipelago, in one of the wildest regions on earth, Vamizi Island is a true gem of southern Africa. Its immaculate white sand beaches border the calm, crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean, offering an idyllic setting for relaxation. In the evening, board a traditional dhow to watch a glowing sunset, a symbol of authentic, understated African luxury.
The waters around the island reveal spectacular marine life, with over 350 fish species moving through some of the richest coral reefs in the world. The tropical forest is home to Sykes’ (Samango) monkeys, giant coconut crabs and colourful birds.
In season, witness the remarkable sight of green turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs.
Vamizi is also a place steeped in history, with Portuguese remains: a church, a fort, a well and a lighthouse. Discover local culture in the fishing villages.
Activities include diving, fishing, mangrove kayaking, guided walks, dolphin and whale cruises, massages and yoga.
