Rooms

Beach Villa

Anantara Bazaruto Island has a total of 29 beach villas each offering an elegant, yet casual retreat. Buildings are constructed of natural materials like reed, soft-fringed thatch and wood to blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings.

Other Room Types:

The Sea View Pool Villa is ideal for romantics, with a queen-sized bed, en suite bathroom, lounge area, and a private veranda from which to enjoy the views. A private plunge pool is the ideal place where couples can cool off.

The Anantara Pool Villa offers the ultimate in luxurious seaside accommodation, with its own spa bath and swimming pool, one king room and one twin room, each with its bathroom. You will also find a lounge area and bar in which to relax with a drink.

In addition, there is one Beach Pool Villa that is ideal for honeymooners and 12 Deluxe Sea View Villas, with vistas of the bay.

Facilities

Neptune Bar, which still boasts its original walls dating back to the early Portuguese traders and features old black-and-white photographs depicting Mozambique's past, is a great place to enjoy a drink.

With more than one swimming pool, you have a choice of places to cool off or simply lie in the sun. The main pool even has a wet bar, where you can enjoy your drinks without leaving the water.

The Sanctuary Spa has five treatment rooms as well as an ice pool, wet room, hydrotherapy pool, Rasul Chamber, health bar and relaxation areas - the ideal place to truly pamper yourself.

Ask the staff about their newest luxurious treatment - the Sunset Treatment. Enjoy a welcome glass of chilled champagne and a soothing foot ritual, followed by a private Rasul treatment and a delicious picnic. End off the fantastic package with an African Signature Massage that is four hours long, beginning at sundown.

Dining

Mozambique has gained a reputation for its incredible seafood. After dinner at the Golfinho Restaurant, you will see that this reputation is well-founded - with buffets piled high with huge prawns, crayfish, calamari and grilled fish.

Breakfast is also a real treat with a wide selection of delicious options ranging from tropical fruit to a full English breakfast made to order.

For lunch, you can wander down to Club Naval, which is situated at the activities centre next to a swimming pool and water feature. This à la carte restaurant overlooks the bay and has an informal feel with light meals including a delicious selection of salads.

Private dining can also be arranged - there's nothing quite as romantic as dinner for two set out on a tropical beach.
