Qualiàlea sanctuary nestles in a forgotten corner of Mozambique's Quirimlas archipelago in the warm Indian Ocean providing a malaria free haven of luxury and beauty with the highest degree of seclusion on an entirely private uninhabited tropical island.

In the 1500’s when the Portuguese and Arab traders arrived in Quissanga, “The place of sands”, on the mainland of Mozambique on their way to Quirumla, ships took refuge in Qualiàlea moorings.

Only nine luxurious island villas spaciously handcrafted and built with authentic traditional Muani natural stone and Makuli palm thatch ensuring cool tropical comfort. Each villa's private teak deck and shower have an unimpeded panorama of the sea.
From the comfort of the pavilion scuba diving, snorkelling and fishing trips are arranged. Fishing outside the sanctuary is from specialized motor yachts or simply sail to discover this highly biodiverse unspoilt marine ecosystem.

Watch exotic birds in the mangroves and discover nests in ancient baobab and enjoy the most exotic holiday you ever experienced.
