Spend sunny days on your deck taking in the changing hues of the ocean and cool off in your plunge pool or in the shade of a cabana.
Surrounding Medjumbe Island, Quirimbas National Park boasts an impressive number of pristine coral reefs that attract an abundance of marine life, making it one of the world’s best snorkeling and scuba diving destinations, as well as a prime haven for dolphin and whale watching boat trips.

Water sports range from water skiing to wake and knee-boarding. Honeymooners and other romantics can travel by dhow, a local sailing boat, to picnic on a deserted island or set off at dusk for a Champagne sunset cruise.
