Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort, Mozambique
Overview
Located on Bazaruto Island’s protected shores, this flagship Anantara property occupies a vast coastal setting where rolling dunes, freshwater lakes and vibrant reefs converge. It was formerly the iconic Indigo Bay Resort & Spa before its transformation into Anantara’s first African retreat, preserving local identity while elevating service and facilities.
Its 44 villas range from intimate beachside chalets to elevated hillside pool villas, each crafted with indigenous reed, pale wood and thatch to evoke Mozambique’s heritage. Many offer panoramic ocean views or shaded garden spaces, plus outdoor showers and private verandas for relaxed indoor-outdoor living.
Guests can pair lazy days on golden sands with adventurous pursuits – dive the famed reef nearby, spot dugongs and turtles, sand-board coral dunes, or explore inland villages and historical landmarks. Evenings can include sunset dhow cruises, wellness treatments in the spa or shared meals in open-air lounges – all served with the warmth and graciousness synonymous with the Anantara name.
