Vamizi Island

Vamizi Island is considered one of the most exclusive destinations in all of Africa. The crescent-shaped island in the far north of Mozambique gives miles of snow-white sandy beaches and turquoise water so clear that you can see the coral from the surface. The island is a pioneer in conservation and home to some of the best-preserved coral reefs in the Indian Ocean, including the famous 'Neptune’s Arm' dive site. Accommodation is provided in luxurious, ecologically designed villas that offer maximum privacy and direct beach access. The island is not only a dream for divers but also an important nesting site for green sea turtles. Between July and September, visitors may be lucky enough to spot humpback whales passing the coast. The Vamizi experience is characterized by 'barefoot luxury' and a deep connection to nature. Gastronomy on the island is world-class, combining international standards with local influences and the freshest ingredients from the ocean. Access is usually by private charter flight from Pemba, emphasizing its seclusion. The best time to visit is the dry season from May to November. Vamizi is the ultimate place for those seeking unparalleled luxury in the midst of pristine wilderness.
