VAMIZI ISLAND
- 24 beach houses with living room, bathroom and breezy verandah
- Sandy-white beaches and crystal-clear waters
- Scuba diving and snorkeling in pristine coral reefs
- Exotic wildlife including monkeys and turtles
The lodge comprises of ten separate beach houses, each with its own large living room, spectacular bathroom and breezy veranda. The houses are all secluded and look out to sea from the shade of the forest that forms the centre of the island. Samango monkeys play in the trees and prowl the glades, hunting the land crabs that live there. The décor of the Vamizi lodge incorporates as much of the traditional design of the region as possible.
The roofs of the lodge are makuti (palm) thatch, based on the Mozambican style, with an emphasis on space and openness. The bathrooms have a solid slab of marble forming the wall of the shower, and hand-carved screens which provide the privacy and aesthetic detail of a Zanzibar palace. The private lounges lead off from the bedrooms like giant verandas, with deep cane couches and colonial-style planter’s chairs. A mass of cushions bring colour and texture to the rooms and invite you to sink deep into them, put your feet up and relax into the lazy comfort of your surroundings.
Vamizi Island Lodge has been designed to complement the environment and to cause as little damage to it as possible. The structure uses almost entirely local materials - timber, thatch and stone all coming from the mainland or the islands themselves - thus providing help to the local economy. Marine activities at the lodge include world-class blue water fishing and fly fishing, as well as scuba diving and snorkeling in some of the most pristine coral reefs of the Indian Ocean.
