Mozambique

The importance of being there. Less crowded than Mauritius, Mozambique is rapidly becoming one of the most sought-after destinations for classic tropical holidays. Long white beaches meet the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, making the Mozambican coastline ideal for diving enthusiasts and one of the best places in the world to swim with whale sharks. The country’s most famous islands include the Bazaruto Archipelago in the south and the Quirimbas Archipelago near the Tanzanian border. The first capital of Mozambique, located on Ilha de Moçambique — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is a fascinating place where noble 16th-century palaces, an imposing fortress perched on the rocks, and centuries of history blend seamlessly with the present.
Maputo captivates visitors with buildings designed by Eiffel, elegant Art Deco architecture, its lively fish market, and the Nautical Club, where Portuguese specialties and traditional Zambezi coconut-based cuisine can be enjoyed.
Mozambique: the surprise you didn’t expect.
