Overview
Vamizi Island is owned by Maluane, a project committed to preserving this unique area of Northern Mozambique through carefully planned and exclusive tourism. Previously hidden from the outside world, Vamizi is quietly opening itself up to be explored for the first time. The exquisite lodge has been created so a handful of guests can step out of 13 beautifully appointed private beach houses into a paradise of powder sands, virginal reefs and secret coves. 2 shaded dhows anchored off some of the best snorkeling spots drop off guests, with no more than a generous picnic and radio, for idyllic memories of privacy and isolation.

For the family
Children can play Robinson Crusoe when cast away on a family holiday at Vamizi while Mum and Dad relax in style and comfort.
Family villas Three of Vamizi’s villas are specifically designed with families in mind. The two bedroom villas can sleep up to 5 people, in 1 double or twin room and another triple room and all the beds have mosquito nets. They share a comfortable communal lounger area. The villas look out onto their own private stretch of beach and are 70m away from the next villa so children can make as much noise as they would like!
Toys There are toys for both big kids and little kids to enjoy on holiday - kayaks, sailboats, snorkelling gear, windsurfers and fishing equipment. Vamizi has a fully equipped PADI dive centre so children can join the rest of the family and experience scuba diving for the first time.
Marine biology The waters around Vamizi Island are home to turtles, whales, dolphins and innumerable species of fish. Boat excursions are exciting and educational for children as they learn about the under water world and the importance of conservation for the future.
Babysitting In the evening babysitting can be organized.

About our Rates: These prices are a guideline and we will confirm the exact price at the time of booking.
Our prices are lower than booking direct as we have negotiated special rates with all the properties we use. It is always worth contacting us for up to date prices as we often run special offers not shown on the website or have further discounts when you combine one or more properties in an itinerary.
As well as a lower rate you also benefit from being able to pay in a choice of currencies and have the security of booking with a fully ATOL and TOPPS bonded travel company.
