Bazaruto National Park(Bazaruto Archipelago National Marine Park)

Stationed within a larger Archipelago consisting of neighboring islands Benguerra, Magaraque, Santa Carolina, Banque, and Shell, Bazaruto National Park is one of Mozambique’s premier island beach destinations. Accessible only via transfer from Vilanikulos, it is a remote paradise. Bazaruto Island is breathtaking. With massive coastal expanses of soft, white sand and crystal- clear azure waters, its beach is easily among Africa’s best. As a national park, it is extremely well-maintained by the Mozambican government, and is safe and remarkably clean. Acres upon acres of oceanside greenery, tall sand dunes, and large rock structures make the beach’s surroundings a sight to behold. For beachgoers looking to simply lounge amidst incredible scenery, Bazaruto Island is an ideal destination.

Adventurers and adrenaline-junkies also flock to Bazaruto Island for invigorating new experiences. On Bazaruto Island, snorkel, dive, and deep-sea fish, and witness the Indian Ocean’s exotic fish and incredible biodiversity. Sail and take in stunning panoramic views. Or, for an adrenaline rush and a unique workout, sand-board on massive dunes.

For beachgoers looking to satisfy cravings after a long beach day, there are multiple great restaurants located at the Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort. Head to Golfinho Restaurant and Bar for top-notch Mozambican, Portuguese and Mediterranean cuisine or Tartaruga Restaurant and Bar for fresh and high-quality seafood served on the water.
