Anantara – Kaleidoscopic Landscapes

In the beginning, there was the sky. Then, the sea. The landscape like a hall of mirrors. Perhaps, in an idyllic part of the horizon, the sky may mimic the choreography of a waterfall and pour into this vast Indian mass of water. Bazaruto is an island, thus a combination of land and sea, a set of kaleidoscopic landscapes that insinuate themselves in each movement.

Anantara is the gateway resort to the larger island that gives the archipelago its name, off the coast of Vilankulo. And from here, you can explore both Anantara and nature. The dazzling experience of nature. The bungalows are connected by wooden walkways, amidst trees where birds nest.

The winds that power the sea have erected sand dunes that take us more than 30km away from the valley. And it seems we have discovered the backstage of a performance by day and night, the fine sand like a grand audience to witness the sun rise and set. Santa Carolina Island, another destination reached from here, is like an open-air aquarium.

At night, by the seaside, it’s easy to understand why the World Travel Awards picked Anantara as Africa’s best romantic resort. With feet deep in the sand, a glass of wine, the sound of the waves like an orchestra, trying to guess the silhouettes drawn by the white ink of the moon on the canvas of sea.

▶  How to get there:

Fly with LAM to Vilankulo. A reservation at Anantara Hotel already includes transportation by boat from Vilankulo to Bazaruto.

▶  Where to eat:

The hotel’s restaurant serves a variety of dishes, between land and sea. Dining there, right in front of the sea, is a cinematic experience. 

▶ What to do:

A journey through the dunes to watch the sunrise and sunset. Or a visit to Santa Carolina Island, which brings back memories of another era. Or go snorkelling in the various coral reefs that allow you to see the diversity of marine life. There are so many unforgettable experiences.
