Bazaruto Archipelago
With Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort and some of the most luxurious Mozambique resorts occupying its confines, the Bazaruto Archipelago is where the country’s best beaches and coastlines are found. Declared a national park in the early 1970s, this breathtaking beach paradise is made up of five islands.
Museu Nacional des Artes

Established in 1921, the Núcleo De Arte is another must-experience visual arts hotspot in Maputo. This multi-disciplinary collaborative art centre is where the country’s finest ceramics, paintings, sculptures, and photography exhibitions are found.
