Spa Pampering and Revitalizing Ocean Views at Bazaruto Island Resort

Spa Pampering, Revitalizing Ocean Views

Promising exclusive pampering at Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort, Anantara Spa was named Mozambique’s Best Resort Spa 2019 in the World Spa Awards. Anantara Spa’s excellence is rooted in Anantara’s exotic Thai origins and world-class expertise. Here, in a Mozambique island paradise, destination spa journeys are inspired by Anantara’s ancient Sanskrit meaning, ‘without end’ – immersing spa guests in Africa‘s timeless wellness culture and tranquil island rhythm.

Luxury in harmony with breathtaking island seclusion

An escape within an escape feels far removed from worldly cares. Indeed the remote setting in the Bazaruto Archipelago welcomes spa aficionados to a utopia of total seclusion. Designed in natural harmony with its lushly tropical environment and translucent ocean views, Anantara Spa is a serene sanctuary perched high above the resort. Covering 1,300 square meters, the freedom of space and time in dazzling nature is matched by luxurious facilities. Five beautifully appointed treatment rooms offer private havens that coax a feeling of tranquillity before treatments even begin. Impressive hydro facilities offer invigorating experiences in the ice pool, wet room, hydrotherapy pool and rhassoul chamber.

Capturing the slow pace of island life, spa time is tailored to individual needs and moods. Treatments are performed by the expert, intuitive hands of highly skilled therapists. Journeys are extended with pre- and post-treatment respite. The health bar serves fresh fruit smoothies and just-squeezed juices. The relaxation area soothes with a view of ocean waves, and later a dreamy sunset, giving way to a star studded sky.

Signature treatments for beauty and wellness

The diverse treatment menu offers rejuvenating and healing pathways. Personally prescribed aging facials wind back the years. Body scrubs and wraps polish, smooth and replenish skin with richly moisturizing coconut, enlivening mint, cooling aloe vera and remedial herbal oil. Heavenly massages draw on Thai and Indian wellness traditions, the power of deep tissue work, the penetrating warmth of pure essential oils and heated volcanic stones. Bath rituals laced with milky elixirs, calming lavender and mineral rich sea salt offer a relaxing prelude to any treatment.

Signature Experiences draw on Anantara Spa’s international prowess, the finest indigenous traditions and unique holistic therapies to offer powerful, long lasting benefits for body, mind and soul. The 90-minute Mozambique Sand Compress Massage incorporates an African oil blend, a heated sand compress and traditional Thai massage techniques to relieve muscle tension, stiffness, pain and fatigue, stimulate blood flow and the lymphatic system, while increasing energy levels and flexibility.

An age-defying lifting and firming facial treatment focuses on damage repair using powerful antioxidants and collagen-boosting botanicals. An age-defying facial smooths out fine lines and wrinkles by straightening the damaged collagen using Terres d’Afrique signature Lymph Wands. At the same time, a wealth of potent African ingredients stimulates the skin’s collagen and elastin production, while omegas help restructure and regenerate skin cells.

A kid’s spa menu ensures that the young ones can also enjoy some pampering. A 45-minute Chocolate Massage is a natural way of relaxing the little ones and stimulate healthy muscle tissue for a growing girl or boy. The treatment consists of a chocolate oil made from real cocoa, without the heavy aroma of essential oils.

For couples, romantic side-by-side retreats can include a soak in the hydrotherapy pool, sharing a bottle of bubbly as a hypnotic sunset unfolds. Spa journeys package together exotic therapies and lavish attention with exclusive rituals. Celebrating Anantara’s Thai roots, the 225-minute Journey of Siam comprises a Vanilla and Cinnamon Scrub, a traditional Thai massage and a detoxify facial. Coaxing busy minds into a deep and restful sleep, the 70-minute In-Villa Slumber Guru Experience draws an essential oil bath in a candlelit bathroom for guests to soak in at their leisure, followed by a relaxing back, neck and shoulder massage using ylang ylang or lavender essential oil. A warm beverage is served with a homemade sweet treat. Calming music plays throughout the experience. As a final gift to drift peacefully asleep, the bed is sprayed with a calming mist and adorned with a silk or cool gel filled eye mask and ear plugs.

Guests can experience a wellness journey with the resort’s new wellness offering consisting of a morning yoga session, sunset meditation and a wellness massage. The chef will prepare a healthy breakfast and work with guests in creating a healthy lunch option during a Spice Spoons cooking class.
