A hauntingly atmospheric island where crumbling Portuguese forts, mansions and churches recall centuries as a Swahili coast trading post. Silversmiths still work in the old fort, and dhow trips through mangroves and sandbanks connect it to the rest of the Quirimbas.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
