Other Information

 

 

 

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.
