Bazaruto Holidays in Mozambique

Best beach holidays to Bazaruto

If you have never visited the Bazaruto Archipelago in Mozambique, then now is the time to do it. This fantastic chain of islands drifts in the Indian Ocean outside of Vilanculos, airport and port town, and offer some of the best beach holidays and accommodation in Africa.

Bazaruto holidays can be spent on Bazaruto Island, the largest island in the Archipelago and boasting two serene lodges, one of which is the perfect Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort & Spa. It is here that you will really relax and make the most of your ideal sea views, water sports and luxury villa accommodation. You will be completely entertained by Mozambique staff while you decide whether you should snorkel, play tennis or walk the beach for miles! Read more about the resort activities here.


Amazing Azura Benguerra Lodge

We highly recommend a stay at the award winning Azura Retreats on Benguerra Island. Its a perfect spot for honeymooners or families wanting a base to explore the Archipelago. The villas are right on the beach and we rate Azura as one of the top island resorts in Mozambique. Because of its enviable reputation, Azura Benguerra is often fully booked way in advance. So if you fancy a beach break in Mozambique book early to avoid disappointment!


Holiday heaven does exist at Anantara Bazaruto

Picture golden beaches, indigenous dune vegetation and huge dunes, a sea so blue it hurts your eyes and accommodation so picturesque you never want to leave it. Anantara Bazaruto also offers you a spa treatment in its sumptuous therapy rooms overlooking the ocean, all based on timeless, natural ingredients. Your holiday will be packed with activities from ocean-related snorkelling and diving, windsurfing and kite surfing, to beach fun times including walking, swimming, dune boarding, horse riding and exploring the inland lakes and wildlife on a planned drive.

The Bazaruto Archipelago is known for its deep sea fishing expeditions, where guests can try to catch Marlin, Sailfish, Barracuda and more from well-kitted boats. Everything is done on a tag and release basis. Your holiday at Anantara in Bazaruto will be heavenly and time will be of no consequence.


Bazaruto National Park

The Bazaruto National Park was declared in 1971 to protect the amazing wildlife in this region so when you go diving, you are sure to see some endangered creatures including the huge dugong, turtles, dolphins and whales in season. Make time to enjoy an ocean safari to get up close to these amazing marine animals, just you and the wide blue ocean.


Bazaruto Holidays spent at Anantara Bazaruto are made for sunny relaxation, outdoor activities and time to get to know the real you again. It is easy to get there too: simply fly to Mozambique from Johannesburg or your country overseas, landing at Vilanculos. The lodge will organize your air or boat transfer right to the island. Your holiday in paradise is ideal for couples, honeymooners, families and business associates needing time out – make the most of the natural surroundings to de-stress and unwind.


Villas face the ocean and boast infinity plunge pools, huge beds, sunken baths, private decks and amazing sitting areas from which to soak up the sun and outlook over beach and waves. Enjoy fresh seafood at the two restaurants and kids will love the large swimming pool and activities arranged just for them.
