Medjumbe Island Resort

True hedonistic pleasure awaits you at the romantic and exclusive island getaway of Medjumbe Private Island.

Set like a jewel within the glittering Quirimbas Archipelago, Medjumbe is a small private Mozambique island only one km long and 500 metres wide.

A perfect vista of endless white sand and translucent sea mesmerizes all who visit.

Medjumbe Private Island offers some of the finest diving in the world with untouched coral reefs and an astounding diversity of marine species.

A dazzling array of fish, from moray eels and stingrays to barracuda, kingfish and other gamefish can be seen whilst diving here in tropical waters that seldom drop below 26 degrees C.

Dolphins are frequently encountered here whilst humpback whales can be sighted between August and October. Leatherback, loggerhead and green turtles are often seen in the water, coming ashore to lay their eggs on the sandy island beaches - sometimes right in front of the beach chalet rooms.

The 13 palm-thatched beach chalets on Medjumbe are the ultimate in sophisticated simplicity, just steps away from the warm Indian Ocean. Nestling on the white sands, they offer privacy and seclusion, yet are situated conveniently close to our guest areas.

Each chalet is luxuriantly furnished in crisp blues and whites, offering a full en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor shower, and is refreshingly air-conditioned. Ceiling fans, mosquito nets, hair dryer, mini bar, an electronic safe, satellite TV and tea/coffee making facilities are included in every chalet.

Outside each chalet, a private plunge pool with stunning Indian Ocean views provides relief from the tropical Mozambique heat and a hammock ensures ultimate relaxation, the Quirimbas way. Ensconced in your private beach haven is as close as it gets to personal heaven.
