Traveller review on Trip advisor

“As much as I do not want to share this incredible place with the rest of the world, I would highly recommend Magaruque Island as this is undoubtedly one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at! You can’t beat this little piece of paradise and the villas are to die for. If you want a 5-star villa right on the white sands of Mozambique, then this is the place for you. This is an amazing destination for newlyweds and the managers/staff ensure you’re treated like royalty.” Ashley from Johannesburg posted this glowing traveller review on Trip advisor.

Candid photos of Magaruque

The candid photos of Magaruque entice you to a fantasy world where all your days are spent in the underwater realm, exploring the crystal clear waters, swimming with the endangered dugong and exploring the rich corals on numerous dive sites. The powder white beaches lure you to spend hours on end just languidly sprawled, absorbing the sun with a refreshing drink in hand.


Make this a reality when you book your holiday with the Mozambique travel team and find yourself in one of 6 designer villas, all named after seashells in keeping with the softly rounded furnishing and artistic décor. Depending on your requirements, you can choose either the main villa Cowrie which is 2-bedroomed, the 3-bedroomed Sea Urchin or one of the four 2-bedroom villas namely Nautilus, Sea Shells, Pansy Shell and Conch. Well-appointed lounges, dining areas, kitchens and decks with plunge pools come standard with each villa. Some en-suite bathrooms have bath and shower while others only feature a shower. There is a lovely restaurant that serves delectable traditional Mozambican/Portuguese meals three times daily with fresh seafood dishes dominating the menu.



“… yes there are small things that resorts and lodges can overlook or improve on, but have travelled quite a lot to a number of islands all over the globe, this island really stands out. Expect a lot of seafood meals. The accommodation is absolutely amazing with tasteful décor… Overall, the pictures online fail to do justice to this outstanding resort. We will definitely come back again.” Robert Greenstein from South Africa commented.

Book your holiday to Bazaruto Mozambique and create your own memories at Magaruque. You might even find yourself posting some rave guest feedback on TripAdvisor.
