Laid-back Luxury by the Sea

“Mozambique isn’t just a beach escape—it’s rhythm, color, and calm. A place where the ocean leads and time stretches like the tide.”

Tropical Islands,

Untouched Wilderness

Mozambique has a rhythm all its own. With powdery beaches, turquoise seas, and vibrant coastal culture, it offers a beautiful contrast to the dust and drama of safari. But there’s more here than meets the eye. From the Bazaruto Archipelago to the far reaches of Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique rewards those who lean in. Whether you’re diving with manta rays, sailing by dhow, or falling asleep to waves and cicadas, this is a place to exhale—to move slower, feel deeper, and reconnect.

What we Love Most

  • Sailing by Dhow at Sunset

    Traditional wooden boats glide across calm waters as the sun melts into the sea. A timeless way to experience the rhythm of island life.

  • Snorkeling & Diving

    Warm, clear waters and vibrant reefs make this a diver’s paradise. Swim alongside dolphins, turtles, and (if you’re lucky) gentle manta rays.

  • Barefoot Living, Elevated

    Mozambique invites you to slow down—but never sacrifices comfort. Think private pools, breezy verandas, and open-air dinners under a sky full of stars.

  • Whale Watching & Turtle Nesting

    Depending on the season, you might witness humpback whales breaching or turtles laying eggs on quiet, protected beaches.

  • Wilderness in Gorongosa

    This park is one of Africa’s greatest conservation stories. A rebirth of ecosystem, wildlife, and community following years of conflict.

  • Soulful Simplicity

    Mozambique is as much about how it feels as what you do. It’s unhurried, deeply sensory, and rich in culture, color, and connection.

Where to Go.

  • A chain of idyllic islands off the southern coast. White sand beaches, coral reefs, and Indian Ocean sunsets define this postcard-perfect escape.

  • The gateway to Bazaruto, this coastal stretch is full of charm, warmth, and easygoing elegance. A lovely stop before or after your island retreat.

  • In central Mozambique, this once-forgotten wilderness is roaring back to life. It’s a place of resilience and biodiversity, with meaningful, conservation-led travel.

  • Further south, Inhambane is known for its sleepy towns, colorful markets, and excellent diving. It’s less polished, more personal, and quietly beautiful.

Properties we Love

  • Azura Benguerra

    Set on a pristine beach in the Bazaruto Archipelago, Azura blends eco-conscious design with private plunge pools, fresh seafood, and warm Mozambican hospitality.

  • Kisawa Sanctuary

    Where innovation meets nature. This luxurious sanctuary offers total privacy, a deep commitment to conservation, and seamless integration into the coastal landscape.

  • Santorini Mozambique

    Perched above the turquoise sea in Vilanculos, Santorini is breezy, beautiful, and perfect for couples or families seeking understated luxury.

  • Sussurro

    Ethereal, slow, and design-forward. Sussurro is all about presence and place—inviting you to sink into nature and rhythm with style and substance.

  • Muzimu Lodge Gorongosa

    A light-footprint safari camp within Gorongosa National Park, Muzimu is ideal for travelers looking for something raw, real, and positively impactful.

Mozambique at a Glance.

Mozambique is the exhale after safari. It’s where you go to reconnect with the ocean, feel sand beneath your feet, and move at the pace of the tide. From castaway islands to meaningful wilderness, it’s a soulful, sun-drenched counterpoint to Africa’s inland drama.

Your itinerary

We try to never curate the same itinerary twice, but below are just some of the itineraries we have curated in the past.

Pairs well with:

Botswana, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia

  • May to October is dry, sunny, and ideal for beach time and wildlife. November to April is hot and humid, with a higher chance of rain and cyclones in January and February.

  • Coastal Mozambique is tropical year-round, with summer rains and winter sun. Inland areas like Gorongosa follow a similar pattern with more variation in temperature.

  • Yes. Many lodges offer family villas and kid-friendly activities like sandboarding, snorkeling, and cultural visits. Just check age minimums for boat or diving trips.

  • Most visitors need a visa, which can often be obtained on arrival or online. Requirements change frequently, so check before you go.

  • Malaria is present, especially along the coast and in Gorongosa. A yellow fever certificate is required if arriving from a country with risk. Basic travel vaccines and mosquito precautions are advised.

  • Flights connect Vilanculos with Johannesburg or Maputo, and charter flights or boats take you to the islands. Travel to Gorongosa usually involves a regional flight and road transfer or private charter.
