Mozambique is a country of spectacular contrasts: beautiful beaches, exotic cities, stunning islands and fascinating cultures.
The Bazaruto Archipelago is a small group of islands situated approximately 40 kilometers off the Mozambique coast. Bazaruto is the largest (approximately 37kms long and up to 7kms wide) and northern most of the five islands.
This uncommercialized island offers a true, unspoiled African island experience, from kilometers of sandy white beaches, crystal clear azure seas, superb coral reefs and dive sites, soaring sand dunes and exuberant bird life, to abundant marine life including big game fish such as Black Marlin.
Bazaruto Island is home to Indigo Bay, one of the leading Mozambique resorts.
Surrounded by azure waters and basking in the tropical sun, Indigo Bay is an idyllic and totally unspoilt island paradise. Located on the south west shore of Bazaruto, the luxury resort is a natural gateway to the enchanted archipelago.
