Anantara Medjumbe: Barefoot luxury in the islands…

It’s paradise found in the newly reopened Anantara Medjumbe Island Resort in Mozambique’s stunning Quirimbas Archipelago.

Enjoy a private island escape… powdery white sands, azure blue waters, swaying palm trees; an idyllic setting unlike any other. Savour the tastes of island life with tantalising local cuisine and seafood plucked fresh from the ocean and served with extraordinary ocean views. Retreat to Anantara Spa’s intimate beachfront villa to indulge in a range of unique therapies. Or discover an underwater world of beauty in some of the world’s most impressive coral reefs.

Located in the Indian Ocean off northeastern Mozambique just north of Pemba, the Quirimbas Archipelago is an ecologically pristine and largely unexplored marine area comprising over 30 islands stretching hundreds of miles, including Ibo, Matemo, Medjumbe and Quirimba, among others. In addition to their Arabic and Portuguese heritage, these islands are renowned for their exceptional diving, kayaking and snorkeling sites, as well as their Arabic, Indian and European cultural influences.

Dana Tours is offering a seven-day launch special from only US$2330pps to this fully inclusive adults-only hideaway, in addition to a stay in the cultural hotspot of Ibo Island at Ibo Island Lodge, promising an unforgettable retreat for special occasions, a dream honeymoon or romantic getaway.
