Situated off the northern coast of Mozambique is a tiny private island, which can only be described as heaven on earth. Anantara Medjumbe Island Resort & Spa is one kilometre long and 300 metres wide. The island’s 12-villa resort combines sophisticated simplicity with unrivalled hospitality. There are another 32 neighbouring islands, some of which can be accessed easily from Anantara Medjumbe.

It’s a perfect retreat to escape reality. You will enter a world of soft powdery sand beckoning long romantic walks along the Indian Ocean, and lazing and dazing from sunrise to sunset alongside the swimming pool.

When you want to escape the sun, go to Anantara Spa’s intimate beachfront villa to indulge in luxurious treatments and therapies.

Taste the best of local cuisine at Jahazi restaurant, from fresh seafood to fine international flavours, while soaking up extraordinary ocean views.

This resort is more for adults: perfect for honeymooners, for celebrating anniversaries and special romantic celebrations.
