The Quirimbas Archipelago stretches for 100 kilometres along the
Mozambique coast. These tropical islands contain some of the richest
coral reefs in the world and provide habitat for an abundant array
of marine life. The Quirimbas Archipelago consists of 32 tropical
coral islands stretching from Pemba (the capital of Cabo Delgado
Province) to the Rovuma River, which forms the natural frontier
between Tanzania and Mozambique. The area has never been developed
and remains an unexplored tourist paradise.
The southernmost 11 of these tropical islands and a vast expanse
of mainland forest are included in the Quirimbas National Park
- a conservation effort to preserve and protect the area.

The Gessner family have lived on Quirimba Island, (the main island
of the Quirimbas) since 1936. Joachim Gessner's father arrived
in Africa from Germany in 1922 and discovered Quirimba soon after.
The family moved onto Quirimba to settle and created a coconut
plantation which they continue to farm to this day. This plantation's
private airfield is available to Quilálea guests and is
just across the bay. At low tide, Quirimba Island is linked to
Ibo by a narrow sand-spit.
