Situated on the remote Medjumbe Island in the Quirimbas Archipelago in northern Mozambique, it is the ideal place for romantics and adventurers. Soak in the breath-taking views of turquoise waters and white-sandy beaches in this secluded and idyllic location.

Anantara Medjumbe Island Resort & Spa offers a memorable stay in its 12 palm-thatched villas dotted along the beach. The full en-suite bedrooms have both indoor and outdoor showers as well as air-conditioning, ceiling fans, mosquito nets and a mini-bar. Enjoy the panoramic ocean views from the hammock on your outdoor deck or take a plunge in your private pool. The main are consists of many decks and shaded verandas, creating private spots for relaxing, enjoying a refreshing cocktail or spa treatment.

Medjumbe’s pristine marine environment boasts some of the best diving in the world – find yourself exploring untouched coral reefs and a diversity of marine species in the crystal clear, warm waters while snorkelling or scuba diving. There is also fishing, sailing, water skiing, kayaking and windsurfing on offer. Explorers can sail out on a dhow sunset cruise and picnic on a deserted island with sparkling wine and finger foods or simply enjoy a private dinner on the beach by candlelight. For the adventurous guests there is the option to spend one night on the nearby private island of Quissanga – an isolated paradise. Embrace your role as a castaway in a four-poster bed, wrapped in soft linens and surrounded by glowing lanterns.
