This is the most amazing honeymoon you could ever dream of. With only 13 chalets on the island, you have the place pretty much to yourself. The plane ride taking you there is like an escort into another world with jaw-dropping views over coral reefs, scattered islands, whales and dolphins (if your eyesight is up to scratch). Upon arrival, your... More

Well it is Africa, so the trip from Maputo flying into medjumbe was interesting but unbelievable. The view from our Cessna was absolutely great. The island itself and the resort lives up to its name, with only 900m by 300m of solid land make this place really special. With only 13 bungalows on the island, it is pretty private. You... More

Arriving there by plane was a true emotion, a toungue of sand in the blue ocean. A warming welcome by a very kind staff, an unbelievable environment, 100% nature, exquisit food. We spent there one week. We were afraid to get bored in such a small island, but after a while we loved the life there. The room was very... More

Fantastic location. Peaceful. Beautiful, clear, warm, turquoise blue waters. Soft white sand. Stunning snorkeling and diving. Excellent food - plenty of shellfish. All staff give a warm welcome and cannot do enough to make you enjoy your dream holiday. A real treat!

After our unique wedding ceremony, the honeymoon also had to be unique! So we found Medjumbe Private Island! And it was... unique and unforgettable! Amazing sandy beaches, turquoise waters and great staff! Better than Maldives! A must from now on! You have to experience this.
