Anantara Medjumbe Island

Azure blue waters, white sandy beaches, and an intimate beach experience on a private island are the hallmarks of a resort constructed of natural materials on the shores of the Indian Ocean. For the angler, there is a variety of game fish, like kingfish and Spanish mackerel, which can be pursued during a deep-sea excursion. Reach the lodge with a flight to Pemba and then a light charter or be transferred to Ibo, where a boat trip of about an hour will bring you to the island. Boat transfers are only possible during high tide.

Only twelve chalets are built on the island, ensuring a quiet, slow-paced Mozambique beach holiday. The thatched chalets are just steps away from the ocean's warm waters. The decor, though very stylish and comfortable, is kept simple and blends well with the natural surroundings. All the chalets are en suite, each with an indoor and outdoor shower. Each chalet is equipped with a private plunge pool, ocean views, and a hammock to relax in. All have air-conditioning, ceiling fans, mini-bar fridges, coffee and tea facilities, and mosquito nets.

The lodge is renowned for its delicious seafood, freshly caught and perfectly prepared. Central dining areas, decks, and patios have been designed for privacy and relaxation without losing the feeling of luxury. Relax around the pool while enjoying a cocktail from any bar area. If you wish to keep up with the outside world during your beach holiday, use the internet in the upstairs informal lounge. It is a diver's paradise with coral-covered caves and various tropical fish. There are 11 unspoiled coral islands, stretching over 100km along the rocky coastline with vertical drops of up to 400m.
