"Anantara Bazaruto review"
9 nights Arrived 16 Jul 2017
"Fantastic resort in a stunning location with excellent staff. Great attention to detail, food was bounteous & extremely good, and plenty of activities to keep everybody happy. Dive sites were really good, with great variety and good divemasters. The villas were really well positioned up the hill to benefit from the views and were extremely comfortable. The cultural tour was also interesting but the hotel could probably do more to show its interaction with the community and what guests could do to contribute."

"top notch resort
- too much use of plastic little drinking water bottles - should use safari camp system of handing out metal water bottle (with your name on it) for use during stay - and have filling stations - would cut use of plastic bottles in half.
food amazing, service over the top - sometimes too much - no need to replace towels every day (didnt use on floor system)" See all these reviews: 6n in Mozambique; 4n in Botswana

"Bazaruto Break"
5 nights Arrived 29 Jul 2016
"This island resort was a perfect antidote to recover from a dusty African safari.
We did stay in the luxury villas which are magnificent and really do give you a sense of desert island paradise.
We had a great family break and would recommend the Paradise Island snorkeling and kayaking on the wonderfully warm Indian Ocean.
The staff are attentive and the seafood exquisite." See all these reviews: 5n in Mozambique; 2n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa

"AMAZING! Stayed in 215 up the hill and absolutely loved the place.... fabulous staff.....wonderful food......incredible views and beachfront location.
Plenty to do: diving was very well run, horse riding too. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Downsides? Tennis courts needed some TLC but nothing else" See all these reviews: 5n in Mozambique; 5n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa

"Lovely beach resort and spa"
3 nights Arrived 4 Jul 2011
"Indigo Bay is a very nice resort and I enjoyed my stay. My beach villa was almost as large as my apartment and also had a veranda and a small yard of sorts. All of the personnel were very nice and friendly. The spa was very, very nice and had amazing views.
As a head's up for other travelers, most of the activities are not included in the room rate and the activity fees are not nominal. The spa prices are comparable to the spa prices in the U.S. That said, I enjoyed the activities I did, particularly the day trip to Santa Carolina Island. I also enjoyed the spa service I had."

Feedback Response
Most of the beaches that we feature have occasions through the year when seaweed is washed up. This is completely natural, and it depends on the tides and the weather. Sadly, it’s impossible for us to predict precisely.
We’re sorry that these travellers seem to have visited during such a time at Indigo Bay – although we don’t believe that, on average, Indigo Bay has any more seaweed washed up around its beaches than anywhere else on the east coast of Africa.

Other lodges in Bazaruto Archipelago
Alternative places to stay in this same area.
Azura Benguerra
Azura Benguerra is very chic and romantic, with particularly good service and food. The choice of activities is wide, and its spa is top-notch!
Bazaruto Lodge
Bazaruto Lodge is a friendly and efficiently run resort which is great value, with a laid-back, Mediterranean charm that would suit couples and families.
Benguerra Lodge
The oldest lodge in the archipelago, Benguerra has a North African feel amidst tropical gardens. It's a peaceful destination for couples, and children's chalets make it good-value for families.
Azura Marlin Beach
Set on a stunning beach, Azura Marlin Beach is due to open in mid 2020. We are anticipating a luxurious lodge with high standards for food and service.
Dugong Lodge
Dugong Beach Lodge is a stylish property on a remote stretch of beach just south of Vilanculos. For the level of luxury you get here, this is a very good value lodge albeit not actually on the Bazaruto Islands.
