Cities & Islands

Some of Mozambique’s most attractive destinations are its vibrant coastal cities, renowned for their pristine beaches and laid-back atmosphere. Inhambane, Vilankulo, Beira, and Pemba each offer their own blend of culture, warm hospitality, and stunning seaside scenery, making them favourites among both local and international travellers.

Island tourism is the crown jewel of the country’s travel experience. The legendary Bazaruto Archipelago—featuring the islands of Bazaruto, Benguerra, Santa Isobel, and Santa Carolina (formerly Paradise Island)—is celebrated for its crystal-clear waters, untouched coral reefs, and exceptional marine life, including dolphins, turtles, and the rare dugong. Luxurious lodges, world-class diving, and sweeping sand dunes make it one of Africa’s most enchanting island escapes.

Further north, off the coast of Pemba, the Quirimbas Archipelago offers an equally captivating paradise. A chain of idyllic islands framed by turquoise waters and powder-white beaches, it is famous for its remote, exclusive feel, rich cultural history, and breathtaking snorkelling and diving opportunities.

Together, these coastal gems position Mozambique as one of the continent’s premier destinations for beach lovers, adventure seekers, and travellers in search of island tranquillity.
