Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort
Vilanculos, Inhambane, Mozambique · Virtuoso · 2025 benefits
With 2,500 km of Indian Ocean coastline, Mozambique is an aqua-playground bathed in brilliant watercolour hues. Nowhere is its beauty more pristine than the Bazaruto Archipelago, a protected marine reserve and national park. Ilha de Bazaruto, Island of the Mist, lies 30 km off the mainland. Here, rolling sand dunes melt into clear azure ocean. Swim with dolphins and experience the annual migration of humpback whales from July to September. Set sail for the sunset. Lose yourself to nature’s beauty in one of the last untouched paradises. Welcome to Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort, a truly luxury escape among Mozambique resorts.
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.
