Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort

Overall, the experience was wonderful - the staff were very friendly and attentive, clean rooms, the dive guides were fantastic (very knowledgeable and comforting when I panicked with the currents), I loved the horse riding (although I feel that they should ask beforehand regarding one's experience and comfort level), the combination of horses and the ocean was my absolute dream, the tour of the island is a must and the welcome and checkout experiences were fantastic. The only area I could advise improvement on was the lack of equipment for recreational activities (only one bicycle and one SUP, etc.) - I felt this was a bit of a let down with the cost of the resort and the fact I would have loved these activities if I were able to do them with my family and not alone.

Catering was amazing. Hospitality was so great from Antonio, Ricardo, Sergio and Jenine to name just a few. Will definitely be coming back for more. Visit to the dunes was definitely a highlight

We had an unforgettable week at Anantara Bazaruto Island. We had a beach villa with pool and right on the beach. We arrived by helicopter transfer at the resort from Vilanculos airport to dancers and our host Ricardo showed us around. We dined at all the restaurants and had such wonderful food and service. All staff were fabulous and friendly and kind and gentle, ensuring we were well looked after. We did a few activities like deep sea fishing, private dhow cruise and to snorkel and have a private island barbeque and had a treatment at the Spa. We just enjoyed the island life, the gentle spirit of all the staff, the kindness we were shown, and the ability to be in Paradise on Bazaruto Island. We will certainly be back as we could relax, rest, swim in most beautiful crystal clear waters and just savour the peace and tranquility of this island resort.

We had a truly fabulous stay at Anantara Bazaruto, where our group of 30 people spent five unforgettable nights. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel genuinely welcome by an exceptionally friendly and well-trained team who consistently went above and beyond. The food was outstanding throughout our stay, with delicious meals and an abundance of fresh seafood that was beautifully prepared every day. While the hotel itself is a bit older, it is extremely well maintained, spotless, and full of charm. The rooms were very clean, with crisp, comfortable bed sheets that made for a wonderful night’s sleep. The spa deserves a special mention – absolutely beautiful and offering one of the best massages we’ve ever experienced. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind. A heartfelt thank you to Christian, the General Manager, who was always present, flexible, and incredibly accommodating. His hands-on approach and genuine care made a big difference and truly elevated our experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better setting or service for our group stay and would highly recommend Anantara Bazaruto for an exceptional island escape.

Our visit to Anantara was nothing short of excitement, from the moment we landed at Vilankulos Airport we were already feeling the Mozambican hospitality as we were met by the representative who greeted us with a contagious smile as we took the transfer to the harbour where we took the boat across to the island. Upon arriving, we were greeted with a lovely local dance which made us feel special and very welcome, as this was not enough we were amazed by the arrival experience and the cool fresh villas which we checked in to. The Food was the main touch as we were pampered by what i was looking forward to the most, the sea food!!! This was the best sea food i have ever had in my life and i couldn't help but treat myself to this delicious and top of the range meal. The Hotel is geographically located perfectly and one would think why haven't i heard about this place before? seriously this place should be on top of the classics as i believe it goes toe to toe with other popular tourists destination in the mainstream. Overall our stay was amazing definitely i will be recommending this to my family and friends. The only sad thing i experienced was when we had to catch the boat to leave, it was such a sad moment having to leave this amazing place.
