Mozambique is the ultimate Robinson Crusoe hideaway destination, perfect for a post-safari beach stay.
This rarely visited country in the southeast of Africa has a coastline stretching more than 2,000 kilometres and some of the best beaches on the Indian Ocean with turquoise seas abounding in colourful fish, well-preserved corals, remote archipelagos and white-sailed dhows plying calm waters. It also has charming colonial-style architecture, vast swathes of bush and a fascinating cultural mix.
Mozambique’s beaches and archipelagos are the country’s main attraction and are largely untouched save for a handful of luxury hotels and hideaways which offer total seclusion and an abundance of marine activities. Its most beautiful archipelagos – Bazaruto and Quirimbas – are a picture-perfect collection of tropical islands lying in coral-rich seas fringed by sandy beaches and mangroves with access via the central coastal town of Vilanculos and Pemba in the north. And with Abercrombie & Kent you’ll experience sheer escapism at a handpicked selection of dreamy island hideouts.
