A destination now growing in popularity, particularly for honeymooners
Along with fabulous beaches you’ll find a lively capital city and islands steeped in colonial history honeymooners
The stunning archipelagos of Bazaruto and Quirimbas offer exclusive island hotels where couples can feel really secluded. For newlyweds, there’s nothing more romantic than strolling along a moonlit beach with the warm Indian Ocean lapping at your toes and a canopy of brilliant stars above – these remote, un-spoilt island resorts can provide just that.
Along with memorable moments like these, Mozambique has plenty to offer for activities and sightseeing. The many marine parks along the coast are home to some stunning coral reefs and a diverse array of marine life including Manta rays, turtles, dugongs and dolphins – you can even catch Humpback whales migrating if you go at the right time of year. Diving and snorkelling is a must-do activity to fully appreciate the beauty and diversity of life in the Indian Ocean. Back on land, discover the mangrove-covered Ibo Island and Ilha de Mozambique and the fascinating ruins left over from colonial Portuguese rule. On the mainland of Mozambique, you can add even more adventure to your honeymoon with a safari in the Niassa Wildlife Reserve – twice the size of Kruger National Park.
Mozambique has a lot to offer and will be a destination you'll want to return to every year!

FAQs About Your Mozambique Honeymoon Holiday
Planning a holiday to Mozambique Honeymoon? Our experts share advice on everything from what to pack, when to go, to tips for families, covering the questions we get asked the most.
Why choose Mozambique for a honeymoon?
Mozambique offers the perfect mix of romance, seclusion, and natural beauty. Couples can stay in intimate beach lodges with private villas, outdoor showers, and candlelit dinners on the sand. The turquoise waters and island settings create an idyllic backdrop for newlyweds looking to relax and reconnect after the wedding. It feels special, private, and unspoilt.
What honeymoon activities are available in Mozambique?
Popular honeymoon activities include snorkelling among colourful reefs, dhow sailing at sunset, and enjoying private picnics on sandbanks. Many lodges arrange spa treatments, starlit dinners, or Champagne breakfasts by the sea. If you prefer adventure, you can dive with whale sharks, go kayaking, or explore remote islands together. It’s as relaxed or active as you wish.
Is Mozambique easy to combine with a safari honeymoon?
Yes, Mozambique combines wonderfully with a safari honeymoon. Couples often fly from Kruger National Park or the Serengeti directly to Mozambique’s coast. This gives you the best of both worlds: thrilling wildlife encounters followed by time to unwind in a luxurious beachfront retreat. It’s a seamless, romantic pairing that makes for a truly memorable trip.
Which lodges are best for a honeymoon in Mozambique?
The Bazaruto and Quirimbas Archipelagos are home to some of Mozambique’s most romantic lodges. Expect private villas, infinity pools, and personal butler service in places that feel far from the crowds. Some lodges even offer deserted island picnics or stargazing on the beach. We’ll recommend the lodge that best matches your style and budget.
