Vamizi

Vamizi offers its guests luxury, exclusivity and romance is one of the most scenic and pristine places on earth. As Vamizi Lodge is one its own island, the villas are spread out allowing for maximum privacy. The lodge at Vamizi comprises sixteen separate villas, each with its own large living room, spectacular bathroom and breezy veranda; four of the villas are 2 bedroom suites and are perfect for families as they can accommodate four guests, the rest of the villas take just two guests. The villas are all secluded from each other and look out to sea from the shade of the forest that forms the centre of the island. The décor of the Vamizi lodge incorporates as much of the traditional design of the region as possible.

The décor of the Vamizi lodge incorporates as much of the traditional design of the region as possible. The lodge has been designed to complement the environment and to cause as little damage to it as possible. The construction uses almost entirely local materials – timber, thatch and stone all come from the mainland or the islands themselves – thus providing help to the local economy.

The roofs of the lodge are makuti (palm) thatch, based on the Mozambican style, and the emphasis is on space and openness, so the rooms are large, with high ceilings. The bedrooms have king-size beds – four-posters – with free-standing frames draped in beautiful mosquito nets.

The outside decks and private beaches have a selection of loungers, swinging beds and local ‘Swahili day beds’ to chose from, to encourage guests to relax wherever they wish.
