My husband and I have just returned from a 5-night stay at Medjumbe Island and we are still blown away by the amazing experience and total beauty of this very special island. When flying into Medjumbe by charter plane, you cannot believe how tiny the island is. It is literally 1km x 500m wide and from the air, you can't... More

This island is one of the most beautiful places we have visited. It is small with only 13 chalets and remote - off the coast of Mozambique. My husband was afraid he would be bored after a few days but the day before we left, he wanted me to see if we could add on more days. The rooms are... More

Medjumbe was a great positive surprise and I loved my stayed there. The island is incredible, extremely pretty with an amazing white sand beach which enlarges in low tide and gives amazing views of the ocean. Walking around the island allows you to discover its wonderful birds, crabs, the lighthouse or enjoy sunbathing. Sunset is great. The sea is also... More

We went for a romantic break and enjoyed the privacy and the paradise the island has to offer. It is truly a beautiful spot, clean white sand beaches, azure sea and when the tide goes out you have miles of crystal clear water to walk..... the food was amazing - and if you love freshly caught seafood - you will...

We have travelled to a lot of Indian Ocean islands and Medjumbe stands out by far as being an exceptional destination for a peaceful vacation. On arrival you know that you have landed in heaven and the experience doesn't change for the duration. We were fortunate enough to spend 10 days on the island and the rooms are spacious -... More
