Diamonds Mequfi Beach Resort

Diamonds Mequfi Beach Resort is located in an area of unexplored beauty that’s just waiting to be discovered. Dotted across an unspoilt arc of amber-coloured sand, the hotel’s individual bungalows gaze out to sea. Boats wait to take guests on adventures on the ocean waves. While therapists prepare soothing spa treatments using fragrant flowers and exotic spices.

This boutique beach resort lets you get back to nature, without leaving luxury behind. All-white guest rooms feature design-conscious interiors, with private verandas and showers facing the bay. There are ocean views from the pool too, where lounging the day away is sheer bliss. To keep you cool, friendly staff will mix a chilled cocktail while you decide which of the restaurants to dine in later.

Quirimbas National Park is a first port of call for most visitors – and a short trip from Diamonds Mequfi Beach Resort. But it’s impossible to come to this part of the world and not at least dip your toes in the ocean. The hotel’s shorefront spot means you needn’t go far for windsurfing, kitesurfing or paddle boarding. Head further out to deeper seas and you can try fishing and diving. Back on dry land, trips to nearby Mecufi Village or Pemba City will give you a fascinating glimpse of Mozambique life.
