Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort

Wonderful luxury accommodation with a gorgeous sandy beach and beautiful warm and clear blue sea. Great excursion options including snorkelling and diving on the nearby coral reef

Incredible location with superb ocean view from every room. Service and room condition are not always at five star level which is the reason for the 4 out of 5 instead of 5/5. We experienced nearly all extra activities offered (spa, dune surf and several snorkelling tour). All great although quite pricey (considering the cost of the hotel, would seem reasonable to offer those at a discounted value as they are important to fully benefit of the exceptional location). We experienced a few issues when we arrived and resolution could have been faster considering the level of the hotel. Food and drink option altough reasonably good could be improved (particularly the breakfast and evening buffet which are not always replenished with some cold food). Anyhow the incredible location helps to forget all the minor issues experienced during the stay but value for money could be improved a bit following our recommendations.

From arrival to check out, the staff were friendly and professional. Food was excellent and the snorkelling and diving first class.

A very enjoyable 4 night stay … Staff are excellent, all very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is great and they do offer lots of activities. We had a day whale watching and island hopping which was absolutely brilliant. We often had the beaches to ourselves and the staff prepared a fantastic bbq for us for lunch. Horse riding on the beach or watching the sunrise from the dunes all leave you with lovely memories. The food was very good - some reviews mentioned that there isn’t enough variety but we didn’t have that issue. There was enough choice for us to eat different things on all the days we were there. The spa was very good - Helena especially is excellent. She went out of her way to accommodate us. In terms of improvements I think the boardwalk needs some work (others have mentioned this too). The distressed look is very beachy but there are parts that are in need of repair and can injure children or any walking barefoot, esp in the night. We had a two bedroom villa - it’s a little dated and in need of more usb charging points… the second bedroom especially only had large 3 pin sockets so even our adapters didn’t work. And lastly whilst everything was provided on request, I think staff can be more proactive in refilling things in your fridge or the toiletries in your bathroom. I think these are all small things but can make a big difference. Overall great value for money especially compared to other resorts we looked at. Bazaruto is a beautiful place and highly recommended for anyone looking for rest and relaxation.

From the moment we arrived, everything about our stay was exceptional. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, with elegantly appointed rooms and thoughtful little touches that made all the difference. We were greeted with a refreshing welcome drink and a vibrant traditional dance performance that immediately made us feel special. The staff were incredibly attentive and consistently ensured our group’s needs were met with warmth and professionalism. Each evening, mosquito nets were carefully arranged, and essentials like remotes were thoughtfully placed on our beds—small details that added to our comfort. A heartfelt thank you to the team for the special farewell. The staff waited to say goodbye and waved us off until our boat departed—a gesture that deeply touched us and perfectly concluded our stay. The only area that could use some attention is the replenishment of in-room amenities such as toilet paper, bottled water, and coffee, etc. Ensuring these are consistently restocked would make the experience flawless. Thank you to everyone who played a part in looking after our group. This experience will stay with us forever!
