We got picked up at a small airport on the coast of Mozambique by a heli of the resort. The 20min flight was stunning. We flew over the untouched coast line, with mangroves and even little villages. Our destination was the Quilalea Island Resort. Only on a part of the island there were little beach front villas. The rest you... More

The location is naturally exquisite. Even snorkeling is quite good and the cabanas are basic but have nice views, are large and airy. The downsides at the time I was there included: terrible selection of foods, mostly fried or boiled unidentifiable seafood with a vinerary flavor. I had come down with a bad stomach either in Dar or on my... More

This was supposed to be our dream holiday! We saved up for a long time and were looking forward to escape to the “highly recommended” Quilalea Island Resort. After an exhausting journey, through customs at Maputo then by plane then by boat to eventually get to the island, we were horrified to see it is actually a rock formation with... More

My fiancée and I have recently returned from a 10 day stay in this magnificent island just off the coast of Pemba. We wanted to go somewhere for a bit of a splurge, it had to be in africa and had to have a decent amount of activities (as I get board just lying on the beach). We couldn't have... More

My husband and I stayed on Quilalea Island for a week in August 07 and had a wonderful time. We found it was the perfect balance of gentle activity - snorkeling, kayaking, boat trips, walking - and self-indulgent relaxing. We stayed in Villa 9 which has it's own private beach area and a little ladder down the cliff face to... More

I booked a week here on the island as part of our honeymoon. We had previously spent 4 days on safari in Tanzania and were looking forward to a week of pure relaxation on the 'paradise island'. The trip from Dar Es Salaam to Quilalea was smooth and the helicopter transfer was great. On the island we had Villa 4... More

Nothing can take away from the natural beauty of Quilalea. That said, if it is unadulterated luxury you are looking for you may be disappointed. Arriving by helicopter was amazing and a real plus and we were greated with smiles by the staff. Management was changing hands which may account for the lack of a clear identity to the staffing....

We have just spent our honeymoon in Quilalea and we fell in love with this little heaven on earth. Everything was impeccable. Both the senior and junior staff, composed of lovely and passionate individuals and lead by the super efficient Ernst, are very friendly and professional and were always keen to meet our needs. The rooms are in typical African... More
