From a resort in this unique position you expect the very best: and you have it. Since the arrival (by 50 minute boat ride from Vilanculos or by helicopter) you are amazed by the impressive Ilha de Bazaruto. The resort is perfectly nested on the western side of the Island and it’s clear that every part of it has been built to not impact with the local nature. We stayed in a Beach Villa that was literally 10 meters from the shore with our private deck and sunbeds. The bathtub has a big window opened towards the sea and to have a relaxing bath with the sunset it’s one of the best experiences to try there. The resort offers a wide range of activities. We did the whale watching and picnic on the desert Pansy Island. This latter was an incredible place and worths all the price while my opinion is that the whale watching should have be done with a bigger boat (and the resort has these kind of boats) because the one used was really too small for 7 guests and for the big waves. Taking photos was really difficult. We had also a wonderful experience at the resort’s SPA: truly the most amazing location I’ve ever seen for a spa with a breathtaking sea view from the top of the island. The massage was excellent and very professional (but with a “no” for the very bizarre bermuda pants requested for men absolutely unfit for massage, while women have the ordinary massage disposable underwear). The food offer is very good with 3 different restaurant with buffet or a la carte. The buffet offer a different proposal every evening. The staff is very attentive, clever and outstandingly kind. A praise to Aventina, our referent that has been always attentive and present. The communication via WhatsApp it’s a good idea and very easy to manage. Wi-Fi is working quite well in all the property. 100% I suggest to spend some days here for a luxury relax if in Mozambique.

Stellar hidden gem! As Americans, Mozambique is not a typical tropical destination but Bazaruto should be on the list for those going on a Kruger safari! Shout out to Orlando, Helena, Manuel and Samuel and the rest of the staff! Highly recommend!
Great hotel in a superb location unfortunately let down by the desperate need for maintenance and upgrades. General management is lethargic but enthusiastic. A lovely holiday save for the many items that are old, rusty and broken.
We spent 5 nights here and it was perfect. The beach, the facilities, and the food were delightful. But I have to say that the service was better than all of it. If you are looking for a chill vacation, prioritizing rest, don’t hesitate, book it!
My wife and I stayed here for five nights in July. From start to finish we found everything to be well organized, professional and personable. We opted for the boat ride to and from the island. The crew were all very helpful and ensured our transition from the boat to land was smooth. We had an ocean front room with a private pool. The view was stunning and the access to the beautiful beach was only a few steps away. There is plenty to do there and scheduling activities is easy. We mostly chilled at the spa, but we went snorkeling as well. Again, the boat crew were great as were the reefs and fish. The water was a little chilly for us and we should have taken the wet suit. Next time. The food was great and the service was impeccable. They go out of their way to individualize each experience. If we every make it back to Mozambique we will be sure to stay here again.
