A Mozambique holiday in this βland of smilesβΒ is synonymous with long sandy beaches, warm tropical water, relaxed ambience and delicious Portuguese cuisine. With its white, palm-fringed beaches and coral reefs, the easy vibe of Mozambique appeals to all, especially honeymoon couples. It also offers the ultimate in βbarefoot luxuryβ beach retreats.
A Mozambique beach holiday offers an exotic mix of different cultures. Along with Tanzania and Kenya, Mozambique was an important staging post on the Arab trade routes. So it offers the same Swahili cultural and historical influences. But its period of Portuguese administration has meant that the country has a very different flavour from former British and German colonies. Itβs more relaxed and unhurried!
Of course, the best-known asset of this country is its fabulous beaches. Top Mozambique holiday destinations include tropical island retreats on Bazaruto and Benguerra islands and the Quirimbas Archipelago. These provide luxurious and tranquil surroundings, with great diving and snorkelling. Whilst the mainland resorts near Inhambane, Vilanculos are also popular with keen divers. There is excellent diving all the way up the coast from White Pearl through to the Quirimbas.
Finally, sports fishing is also a big drawcard with many resorts offering deep sea fishing excursions to rival the best of the Indian Ocean islands.
We stayed at Azura BenguerraΒ for two nights. It was too short! On arrival we were allocated a private butler to tend to our every need, Mozambican style β ie not overly obsequious, but always around when you needed something.
