Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique

The pristine coral reefs which line the Bazaruto Archipelago in the south boast some of the world’s most impressive marine life. The six islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago – Bazaruto itself, Benguerra, Magaruque, Santa Carolina, Bangué and Shell – all have their own unique charm and character, offering everything from diving and snorkelling to dhow sailing and deep-sea fishing. These islands are best accessed via Vilanculos, Mozambique’s ‘mainland hopping-off point’.

Why Choose Turquoise?

Family Owned & Run

We are one of the few remaining family owned and run operators of our size. We have direct relationships with every single destination, island, resort and hotel we work with, in order to deliver exceptional and truly personalised service.

Our Passion Runs Deep

We are - and always have been - mad about travel. For almost 25 years we've been scouring the globe for the best places to stay, the newest routes to take, the perfect people to meet. No-one will care more about your holiday.

Definition of Luxury

Luxury means something different to everyone. Whether you are seeking the silence of vast spaces, the isolation of a private island, the buzz of a new city, the adrenaline of a safari or anything in between, we listen, we learn, we advise.

Fun & Refreshing

We endeavour that every Turquoise experience is unique, fun and refreshing. Travel is all about experiences, about serendipitous moments and endless smiles. It is a joy and an honour to plan each and every Turquoise holiday.
