Be first to plant your footprints in paradise

Imagine how the first to set foot on the magical island of Mustique, a Maldivian paradise or a Mauritian peninsula must have felt - untouched powder white sand, swaying palms and nothing but a few monkeys and some hermit crabs for company. Well this is your chance to be amongst the first to discover a brand new paradise.

Vamizi Island in the Northern-most reaches of the mesmerising Mozambican coastline is a remote haven from the 21st century. Leave behind your Blackberry and your worries and let the cool breeze whispering through the lattice windows of your vast, teak decked Robinson Crusoe style villa calm your senses. 70 metres of jungle greenery separates you from the next villa and there are only 13 villas on the island so if people-spotting isn't your thing, don't worry - there aren't any!

This is escapism at its purest, the unbleached coral which surrounds the island attracts a kaleidoscope of fish and no divers other than yourselves, the deep sea fishing is unrivalled, sustainable and mouth-watering.

Scott Dunn offers 6 nights at Vamizi Island and one night at Oyster Bay in Dar Es Salaam on a fully inclusive basis based on two sharing, including international and internal flights, taxes, transfers and including one complimentary dive and one complimentary spa treatment from £3,160 per person.
