Quilalea Island Resort is an idyllic place in a forgotten corner of Mozambique's Quirimbas Archipelago in the tropical Indian Ocean. Completely uninhabited, this Indian Ocean island offers complete exclusivity and unparalleled natural beauty. The island has a deep channel on the landward side, allowing protected mooring all year long and at all points of the tide. From this safe haven derived the Swahili word to sleep or "Lala". Hence, Quilalea was considered a secret place of choice to rest. This haven has now been rediscovered, and offers its guests the opportunity for complete relaxation, tranquility and self discovery. Unlike the rest of the Quirimbas Archipelago, Quilalea Island Resort is malarie-free. All the water on the island is provided via a de-salination plant and stored in subterranean tanks, hence there is no open water on the island and nowhere for mosquitos to breed, which allows for a relaxed, stress-free vacation. |

ACCOMMODATION: The Quilalea Island Resort accommodates 18 guests in 9 luxury "island villas". Each villa is constructed entirely with indigenous materials and handcrafted timber, opening onto a private veranda with panoramic sea views. A comfortable 45 square metres in size, every villa is complete with an antique stylised shower, vanity and fittings. Large windows afford magnificent views and allow the sea breeze to waft through the entire villa. Natural rock walls, makuti thatch, and colonial ceiling fans keep you cool by day. The island-style furniture is crafted from indigenous teak and mahogany by local carpenters in the creole Muani style. A king-size bed draped in netting completes the romantic African/Arabian luxury. Every villa has the pleasure of overlooking the sparkling Indian Ocean. FOOD & WINE: The restaurant and lounge is no more than a two-minute walk from the most distant villa. Set on a peninsula at the north end of the island, the restaurant offers beautiful ocean views to both the west and the east. Indulge in the flavours and spices of Mozambican cuisine influenced by Portugal and Goa, prepared by the gourmet chef.
