543 Vamizi Island lies off the coast of northern Mozambique, in the Quirimbas Archipelago. The Archipelago consists of 32 tropical coral islands, and stretches for 100 km along the coast . The island has clear blue water, abundant marine life, and thick, untouched coral reefs. The lodge is set on the edge of a tropical forest looking out across a white beach to the Indian Ocean beyond. 16 different dive sites cater for beginners ( shallow) to the experienced ( vertical dives). For keen blue- water fishermen, the vertical drop- off beyond the reef teams with predator fish including sailfish, marlin, tuna, giant trevally and wahoo. WHYWE LIKE IT Vamizi's location and natural beauty is overwhelming. This private island with its white beaches and azure waters offers the best snorkeling, diving and fishing.
