The Sunday Times reported that Tokyo Sexwale bought the Quilálea island in 2008 for $70 million. We did some snooping around the net and found you some info and photos:

Now, back to the island.

According to the mostbeautifulislands website:

Quilalea Island is a unique island marine sanctuary, fringed with pristine beaches and surrounded by the tropical Indian Ocean. Just 35 hectares in extent, this Indian Ocean island offers the ultimate in seclusion and privacy. Quilálea is an idyllic Mozambique island resort nestling in a forgotten corner of Mozambique’s Quirimbas Archipelago in the tropical Indian Ocean. Completely uninhabited, this Indian Ocean island offers complete exclusivity and unparalleled natural beauty. Quilálea re-opens at the start of November 2011, having been effectively shut for visitors since the end of 2008. Rumours suggest that it was bought by a South African politician, Tokyo Sexwale, as a private holiday retreat. Since then, during 2011, Quilálea has been re-built and re-furbished by the team from the smart Azura Mozambique lodge, in the Bazaruto Archipelago ,and hence we have very high expectations for it, and the new name “Azura at Quilalea Private Island”. Surrounded by the sparkling, azure waters of the warm Indian Ocean, Quilálea is the ideal honeymoon destination for those in search of the perfect romantic island getaway, or the ultimate holiday for those in need of relaxation, adventure and rediscovery.
