This secluded resort hugs the pristine white sand beaches of the largest island in the protected Bazaruto archipelago, 30 kilometers east of mainland Mozambique. Surrounded by the warm Indian Ocean, this marine reserve is a paradise for snorkelling, diving, fishing or lying and soaking up the African sun. Anantara offers a calm, private and peaceful paradise where days are spent relaxing on the picture-perfect beach, indulging in freshly prepared local cuisine and being pampered at the spa. All this tropical tranquillity is spiced up with a myriad of adventurous activities to enjoy every inch of the island and surrounding ocean.
From $450 person/night
An underwater utopia with protected reefs teeming with fish, dolphins, whales, turtles and the largest population of the rare dugong on the African East coast.
For a really special evening, dine “by design” where a private chef and butler prepare and serve your meal in a romantic, private setting around the island.
Don't feel forced to jam as many activities in as possible. This is paradise, so enjoy it as you please.
Constructed from indigenous wood and thatched with local palm leaves, Antantara Bazaruto Resort blends in natural harmony with its unspoiled island surrounds. Central areas include its main Mediterranean restaurant and beach bar with an infinity pool where you can swim right up to the bar for a cocktail, a beach club and activity centre complete with family pool, and its spa, perched on the top of a hill with a stunning view of the island.
Anantara Bazaruto boasts 44 elegant villas featuring four-poster beds with white mosquito drapes, tropical outdoor showers, sunken bathtubs, garden hammocks and gorgeous views of the beach or sea - and some with a private pool! Hide away in the perfect balance of understated luxury and rustic charm, constructed from indigenous wood, reed and soft fringed thatch. Rooms are decorated in tranquil hues of white, cream and aqua and the highlight is the uninterrupted panorama of pure white sands and sparkling turquoise sea from each suite’s private veranda.
Although you may not plan to do anything more than lie on Bazaruto’s tropical beach and soak up the sun, you will be tempted by the plethora of island activities. Enjoy a wide range of water sports and experience for yourself one of the world’s best deep sea fishing and scuba diving hot spots. Explore the island on horseback, go sand boarding down the magnificent dunes or delve into Mozambican culture with a local village visit or cooking lesson.
