Excellent / 4.9 out of 5

The inviting Anantara Medjumbe Island Resort is positioned on its own private island, just 1km long by 300m at its widest, in the stunning Quirimbas Archipelago off the northern Coast of Mozambique. This island paradise is ideal for forgetting the outside world even exists.

Arrive in style by flying in on helicopter, enjoying the amazing views below. The island is home to just 12 thatched boutique beach villas all with breath-taking views of the Indian Ocean. Here simply relax on the beach, rejuvenate in the famous Anantara Spa, kayak around the crystal clear Quirimbas waters or scuba dive in some of the best dive sites in the world.

To escape even further, enjoy a picnic on Quissanga Island. Travel by private boat to the white sand island, stroll around this tiny island, take a swim and enjoy a picnic prepared by the restaurant chefs.

This truly is barefoot luxury, an untouched castaway paradise.

Whale Watching
Between July and October, humpback whales from the Antarctic migrate to the warm tropical waters of the Quirimbas Archipelago to give birth to their calves, and a few months later these young whales make the long journey back to their Antarctic feeding grounds. Embark on an inspirational boat trip to be greeted by whales swimming peacefully alongside, watching these majestic creatures arching gracefully over the waves.
