The warm seas along Mozambique’s 2500 km coastline and its many offshore islands shelter a wealth of marine life. Its soft sand beaches and small boutique lodges on virtually uninhabited islands, make the Bazaruto and Quirimbas Archipelagos the main holiday focus. Stylish new lodges have opened to the south of Maputo, and are within easier reach of South Africa, making Mozambique a little more affordable. Sustainability and bare-foot luxury are key notes here and Mozambique makes a wonderful honeymoon or ‘big celebration’ destination.
