Vamizi is a twelve-kilometre long finger of
land - just off the coast of Palma in the Northern most
corner of the Quirimbas. Surrounded by coral gardens and
abundant seas, providing for a host of animal and bird life,
all no more than a kilometre from the beach. The island is
dotted with many tiny coves and bays just begging to be
explored.
For centuries the people of Vamizi wove cloth
and dyed it blue with indigo cultivated on the island. With
time and the success of their trade, the islands themselves
came to be known by the name of the cloth-Maluane. The
lighthouse on the Island dates from the nineteenth century.
It lit the way for commercial dhows and later steamships as
they plied their trade along this historic coast.
