The pearl of the Indian Ocean, Mozambique boasts 2 500 km (1 550 miles) of pristine beachfront on the mainland, with an archipelago string of beautiful and idyllic tropical islands, glittering like jewels in the warm, azure waters of the Indian Ocean. Endless stretches of soft, white, sandy beaches lined with coconut palm trees create a movie-like island escape, unlike any other.

 

Mozambique has remained an exclusive destination as many of its islands and mainland beaches are isolated and secluded, offering travellers the ultimate escape. There are no golf courses or shopping malls here, but the unspoiled natural beauty and rich marine life has pushed the country to the top of the list for honeymooners, scuba divers and water sport fanatics.

 

For those in search of time spent in their own private idahoe, a romantic safari or just an island holiday liberated from the everyday bustle of city life, Mozambique offers a delicious platter of travel delights:

 

• Take a romantic sail on a traditional wooden dhow

• Walk along stunning sandbanks, and lull into hibernation in this tropical heaven

• Enjoy unspoilt marine nature, galore 

• Go scuba diving or snorkelling and explore a sublime visual feast, rich in coral reefs, fish and marine life

• Explore the local villages and enjoy the diverse cultural influences on this once Portuguese colony

• Indulge your culinary senses in the wealth of Portugese-inspired seafood
