Quilalea island

Quilalea is a small private island in the Quirimbas archipelago in Mozambique. There are several beaches, including the fairly unusual ones. But most of the beaches are rather mediocre, while snorkeling and diving are excellent. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Azura Quilalea Island is a 4-stars hotel. It's very expensive, and obviously not worth the money, despite all the claims for luxury.

How to get there [edit]

The most cheap is to fly to Quirimbas islands via airports of neighboring countries: Dar es Salaam International Airport (DAR) (Tanzania), Nairobi International Airport (NBO) (Kenya) or Johannesburg International Airport (JNB) (South Africa).

Next fly to Pemba International Airport (POL) or fly to Nampula International Airport (APL). Next hire a taxi/speedboat or take a flight on your hotel's private plane.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in the islands of Quirimbas is a dry season from April to November. However, if you prefer the warm sea water, it is better to avoid the period from July to September.
