Second Anantara hotel opens in Mozambique

MINOR Hotel Group’s
Anantara brand has
opened its second hotel
in Mozambique, following
its joint venture with Rani
Resorts in August last
year.
The hotel, which was
previously Rani Resorts’
Medjumbe Private Island,
has been rebranded
Anantara Medjumbe Island
Resort & Spa.
The hotel will undergo
refurbishments but will
remain operational.
The resort offers 12
thatched Beach Pool
Villas, with direct beach
access, private pools and
hammocks.
Features include the
Anantara Spa, the Bahari
Lounge Bar and the Jahazi
Restaurant where guests
can request Anantara’s
signature ‘Dining by
Design’ experience and
either choose from a
selection of gourmet
options or collaborate with
a chef to create their own
menu.
Anantara Bazaruto,
previously known as Indigo
Bay, joined the portfolio in
December 2013.
A third resort will be
added next year – the
24-villa Matemo Island,
which is currently closed
for refurbishment. When
it reopens, the hotel will
be rebranded Anantara
Matemo Island Resort.
