Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort

One of the best hotels I have stayed in. Amazing staff, service and food. The villas are beautiful. Paradise in a nut shell. Very quite resort where you can relax and recharge.

We spent a truly magical few days at Anantara Bazaruto, and it honestly exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived until the very end, every detail was handled with care, and we felt pampered in a dreamlike setting. We were lucky to have Claudio as our concierge, and we couldn’t have asked for a better host. His attention, dedication, and kindness were essential in organizing every experience to perfectly match our preferences. He made us feel not just welcome, but genuinely cared for. Our villa was stunning, luxurious, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and seamlessly blended with the natural surroundings. Having our own pool, ocean views, and total privacy made our stay truly exceptional. The activities offered by the resort were simply outstanding. We enjoyed snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, sunset boat rides, romantic horseback rides on the beach, and thrilling water sports. Every activity was perfectly coordinated, with professional staff and top-notch equipment. The cuisine deserves a special mention. Each meal was a delicious surprise, full of flavor, freshness, and creativity. The resort manager, Christian, was always present, kind, and incredibly attentive. His leadership and commitment to excellence were evident in every aspect of our stay. At the spa, we received world-class treatment. Helena was absolutely fantastic, her expertise and gentle care gave us one of the best spa experiences we’ve ever had. It was the perfect way to relax and recharge. And of course, we want to highlight the incredible staff at the restaurant and across the resort. Each person contributed to our stay with a smile, special attention, or thoughtful gesture. A heartfelt thank you to Catimbe, Julie, Fidelis, Alberto, Justin, Sergio, Mario, Ronaldo, and many others whose names we may not remember, but whose kindness made a lasting impression. Anantara Bazaruto is more than just a resort, it’s a place that touches your soul. We leave with unforgettable memories and the certainty that we’ll return to this paradise. Thank you for making our experience so extraordinary!

Fantastic location in a private-island-like setting, the beach villas are set in a perfect spot, overlooking the Indian Ocean and with guaranteed breathtaking sunset views. The food was excellent quality, with lots of variety in menus, great service from staff. The activities were all perfectly organised. Very child friendly, perfect for families looking to spend quality time together. Management always present making sure service run smoothly. The warm, personal and authentic welcoming made this a perfect stay.

This resort is amazing. We went for our honeymoon after spending a few days in Cape Town. The service was thorough and impeccable - all waiters were attentive to our every need, housekeeping left the room pristine, and the food was delicious. We went scuba diving and the guides were great. I had issues with my ear after the dive and the resort gave me some ear drop medication. They truly thought of everything. Oh also, it is breathtakingly beautiful.

Absolutely LOVED this property! We stayed here for 5 days in June (off-season), and the resort was not full so we had a lot of things to ourselves. There are two pools and two restaurants to enjoy. The staff are incredible, friendly, attentive and you really get to know them. The food was great and the bar menu has a lot of fun creative cocktails. They have a huge list of activities you can plan from snorkeling to horseback riding to add some adventure to your stay. The property is amazing, individual villas with private beach access and indoor/outdoor showers. The island was great because it’s not touristy and you still get to experience the natural beauty of the beach. Highly recommend this resort!
