Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort
Indulge in Island Romance
What we think
Skylark only includes hotels that meet our stamp of approval. Our editorial review for this one isn’t ready yet — but we’re working on it! Below is the hotel’s own description.
Escape completely at Ilha de Bazaruto, set within a protected marine park some 24 miles off Mozambique’s mainland. Guests can arrive via a complimentary 45-minute boat transfer, or opt for a charter flight (there’s even a private landing strip). Just 44 luxury villas dot these still untouched shores, where rolling sand dunes melt into azure waters favored by migrating humpback whales. Indulge in locallyinspired spa treatments, dive along protected reefs, swim with dolphins, try dune-boarding, or take a sunset cruise.

Tartaruga - Wander to the deck for a lunch of fresh seafood, spiced with the flavours of the Portuguese and enjoy dinner on the beach, with tantalizing local dishes, as well as flame-grilled imported meats.
