VAMIZI
Quirimbas Archipelago
Vamizi: Our ViewThe main problem with northern Mozambique has long been the “getting there” element, as the flights to and from Dar es Salaam were never reliable and so it kept Mozambique as an isolated spot accessed only by a few. Vamizi decided that enough was enough and started to fly their clients in themselves. This really reflects the approach to the lodge itself in that, if there is an issue, it is dealt with swiftly and simply. We could harp on about a whole host of reasons why this is the best lodge on the East African coast, but will leave you to discover them for yourself….go here! Possibly the best beach accommodation off the East Coast of Africa. Nothing more needed to be said. It can only get 5 palms. Vamizi: Fast Facts$890 per person per night (high season) Our Rating
Vamizi: The DetailSet on a vast beach that competes with anywhere in the world, Vamizi consists of 13 extravagant rooms spread at one end of a 7km long beach. Rooms are huge with massive four poster beds, open lounge areas and huge bathrooms providing some of the most luxurious accommodation in Mozambique, and indeed anywhere on the Indian Ocean. Vamizi is the purest example of barefoot luxury. The rooms are enormous and ultra-private and there are also two family villas. They are spread out far from each other and each with a private view of the sea only a 30 yard stroll away. The lodge has excellent service, great food and activities Just off the coast lies the world renown fishing hotspot of the Lazarus bank, home to large numbers of sailfish and marlin. The coral, seas and pinnacles that surround the island on the southern side are completely private to Vamizi lodge and only the guests can use these areas. The waters around the lodge have been a part of a conservation project since 2005 and the marine life is considered to be as abundant as it was a hundred years ago. Ecotourism is a word too often misused and exploited, however, Vamizi sets new boundaries and guidelines for how this specific type of sustainable, low impact tourism should be run. Vamizi: Client Reviews
Vamizi, impossible to leave. Absolutely incredible. Can't recommend it highly enough. Staff, diving, food, accommodation all fantastic. We just want to go back
Andy C-D 2011I also can't say enough about Vamizi - I was a little apprehensive (perhaps too strong a word) about the "barefoot luxury" angle (it can either be amazing or really bad) ......... but Vamizi delivers on every angle possible. The food was out of this world, the managers are amazing (as is the staff), the beaches and the water are outstanding, and all in all I can't recommend it enough. Dan Belchers 2010 I would just like to send my thanks and best wishes to you for the help and advice provided (by Nick before he moved on) and the fantastic holiday we had this year in Beho Beho and Vamizi. Everything went according to plan in relation to transfers etc and we were well looked after. Both hotels lived up to and in some ways exceeded expectations. It took me all year to save the money for this trip but it was well worth it. If I plan a safari anytime in future Ill be back in touch. Thanks again. Mr Toovey 2010 Vamizi was simply beautiful and very difficult to leave! We are going to start saving immediately for our next trip to Africa, we have completely fallen in love with the place!
