Medjumbe Island Resort

About Anantara Medjumbe Island Resort

Ridiculously indulgent luxury on a remote private island just off the coast of Mozambique.

This small tropical island, only one-kilometre long and 300 metres wide, will be your comfortable castaway home for a while. It’s remote, gobsmackingly beautiful and one of the smaller islands of the Quirimbas Archipelago. The location is topped off by the simple luxury of your private beach hut, the wealth of sea life on the colourful reefs and no screaming children. Yes folks … it’s adults only.

Property details

The property

The main lodge area is set under a thatched roof of impressive architectural proportions. It has a restaurant, lounge with wooden couches and coffee tables, a mezzanine area overlooking the ocean with books and games, as well as a colourful restaurant serving local and international cuisine. Some evenings dinner is hosted in a new and unique location. Shh … we’re not telling, Even though you have your own plunge pool you can also hang out at the lodge swimming pool on the stone terrace overlooking the beach. There are loungers, tables and chairs and the bar is nearby.

The rooms

We love the private beach chalets at this lodge, they’re comfortable and tastefully decorated. They are raised off the beach and have a wooden deck, sun loungers, hammock, private plunge pool and palm-thatched roof. Sound sweet? It is. Amenities include an en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor shower, air-conditioning, ceiling fans, mosquito nets, hair dryer, mini bar, satellite TV and tea/coffee making facilities. Did we mention you walk off your deck directly on the beach?

Activities

Adventure and activity abound at Medjumbe - if you want it, that is! There are watersports galore, including snorkelling, fishing, water skiing, Hobie cat sailing, sea kayaking, and stand up paddleboarding. The diving is also exceptional and adventurous divers must ask about the Edge of Reason dive. For something more relaxed, however, take a dhow sunset cruise, enjoy a remote island picnic or book a moya crystal experience at the Anantara Medjumbe Spa.

Why we love it

The short flight in from Pemba. It's as jaw-droppingly beautiful as the island itself and you'll be glued to the windows admiring the unreal scenes of blistering white sand and turquoise ocean unfold below.

Insiders Tip

Take a sunset walk around the island. Start from the sweet little stone lighthouse at one end and end at the other where the sandbar stretches into a horizon of pinks and blues.

Something to think about

The island IS tiny, so if you get itchy feet in a small place, you might go stir crazy for more than 2 or 3 nights. That said, there are plenty of water-based activities to keep you busy...
