Miles of unpadded white sand waits to be explored. Sometimes known as the new Maldives, the island boasts:

‧ The Private Villa Collection: 4 private luxury villas designed by award winning architects for larger groups or families, sleep between 12 and 14, with a dedicated Chef, housekeeping staff, and a hospitality manager looking after your every need. 2 new private villas to be completed in 2014

BRAND NEW VILLA: ‘Casa Marjani' has recently opened for guests, with new organic designs, an elevated tree-house bedroom and en-suite bathroom and tower with winding walkways perfect for star-gazing. Using curved organic designs which play on form and structure, the villa uses local coral stone extensively, and hand crafted details and timber carvings hint at a Arabic/Swahili influence

‧ The Lodge: 10 beautiful ‘kitalas', impossibly romantic timber luxury beach front villas, set over 70 meters apart, with spectacular views of the Indian Ocean

‧ The Bar and Restaurant: choose from a range of cocktails or explore a list of fine wines and spirits

‧ The Cuisine: is all about local produce. The catch is prepared into a sumptuous array of dishes for beachside barbeques, remote island picnics or sophisticated lantern-lit glamour

‧ The Sea: Vamizi boasts world-class diving and is nominated as one of the top ten dive sites in the world. Adventurous guests can also enjoy world-class big game fishing (wahoo, dogtooth and yellowfin tuna, giant trevally), estuary kayaking, and catamaran or dinghy sailing. Or simply snorkel straight off the shore, enjoy a sunset dhow cruise, watch dolphins and if you are lucky you might see a humpback whale breach

‧ The Land: stroll inland to see nesting green turtles, giant coconut crabs and rare samango monkeys as well as colourful exotic birds. Make a community visit to the local mwani people and see their traditional fishing villages or take a castaway picnic to a very private corner of the island

‧ One big spa: unwind from the stresses of everyday life with a massage. One big spa, Vamizi nurtures from the inside out, offering some of the best energy and body treatments available using natural recipes borrowed from local women on the island

‧ Yoga teacher: will help you see yourself and your surroundings from a new and far more relaxed angle

‧ Conservation: Vamizi is a conservation and community project aimed at preserving this remote and unique wilderness and improving the livelihoods of its inhabitants as well as an important marine reserve

Slender and crescent-shaped, Vamizi Island nestles within the Quirimbas Archipelago, a string of islands along the length of Mozambique's remote Northern Coast. The Island is a sanctuary, small and intimate, offering the definitive barefoot luxury of your own private island. Just 12 kilometres long and two kilometres wide, Vamizi Island, fringed with gently-shelving beaches and calm waters is a haven for adults and children alike.

With miles of deserted coastline and a tropical ocean to cross, the journey is all part of the adventure. Flights (Direct with KLM & Swissair; Emirates and Qatar via middle east; Kenya Airways and BA via Nairobi or Jo'burg) to Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) or Pemba (Mozambique) connect with a short private flight to the Vamizi Island airstrip
