Map of Quirimbas Islands Accommodation
Quirimbas Archipelago is an awe-inspiring destination stretching 200km parallel to Pemba mainland and comprised of 12 major offshore islands and around 20 smaller, coralline outcrops. These islands are strung along a dazzling coastline offering paradise-like beaches and an abundance of marine life. The Quirimbas Archipelago is situated about 2,500km from Maputo and is known for their unexplored and un-spoilt beaches and important island reef ecosystems. Quirimbas Archipelago is most easily reached from Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.
The Quirimbas Archipelago islands have world class resorts set on
pristine beaches lined with palm trees and lush vegetation overlooking
the crystal clear turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. This area is
probably the last stretch of East African coastline where the marine
environments and beaches are ecologically pristine and largely
unexplored. Beach lodges are all smaller than the normal holiday resort
hotel so rather than promising slick, first-world service these lodges
focus on personal care in a laid back environment.
Most islands are uninhabited and all are blessed with white sandy
beaches surrounded by a tropical Indian Ocean. These islands are also a
ornithological paradise with abundant bird populations. This is a
destination where you are unlikely to come across any other yachts while
boating. The Quirimbas also offer abundant cultural exchanges where you
could have the chance to experience the history and friendliness of the
locals. The Quirimbas National Park is a conservation heaven boasting
rich wildlife and protecting one of the richest areas of coral reef in
the world.
