Mozambique Luxury Holidays

With its rich musical traditions and myriad cultural influences, Mozambique luxury holidays are a lesson in sensory submersion. Get stuck into the country’s artistic scene at one of Maputo’s live music venues, or if food is your preferred kind of cultural immersion, Mozambique’s cuisine centres around fresh seafood and hearty stews, featuring flavours from both African and Portuguese dishes. Tuck into galinha asada (flame-grilled chicken) marinated in piri-piri sauce, meaty feijoada (bean and beef stew) served with xima (cornflour porridge) and fragrant grilled magumba (a sardine-like fish), in-between sunbathing sessions. Variety also comes in the form of the flora and fauna, with both the Bazaruto and Quirimbas Archipelagos protected by national park status. Sail around either archipelago, stopping to snorkel or dive in their inky waters, or kayak through wildlife-filled mangroves.

If you like your luxury with a serving of adventure on the side, Mozambique luxury holidays can be combined with safaris in Botswana or South Africa. Embrace the continent’s wilder side and witness the ‘Big Five’ in the Okavango Delta or Marakele National Park, before settling into beachside life on Mozambique’s Bazaruto Island. With its vibrant turquoise waters and caster-sugar sand beaches, mastering the art of relaxation and working on your tan can be your only responsibilities.
