Bahia Mar Boutique Hotel

Bahia Mar Boutique Hotel

Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique

Nestled on a plateau above the dazzling coastal lagoons of south-central Mozambique, this ocean-facing boutique property combines relaxation and wellbeing with an idyllic setting. Here, you're surrounded by lush indigenous gardens dotted with palms and acacia trees and can enjoy views over the turquoise waters of the Mozambique Channel. Just 68 steps away, you can access the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and soft sand beaches, as well as more active pursuits such as kitesurfing, snorkelling and scuba diving.

The property's intimate size means you'll receive a friendly and personal service. You can choose from four different room styles, each with contemporary decor and lots of natural light, as well as its own veranda overlooking the ocean or gardens.

Outside, you can cool off in the infinity pool and enjoy refreshments from the swim-up bar, or just unwind on the expansive terrace. Thatched roofs shelter an additional bar and lounge area, for a place to escape the heat of the day, while dining takes place in the property's own restaurant. Here, you can enjoy meals and snacks under the shade, or on the outdoor terrace, which makes for an ideal place to watch the sunset.

The property also has its own spa and holds a variety of fitness classes, from yoga and Pilates to more energetic classes such as circuit training and Body Combat. You could also make use of Bahia Mar's own luxury powerboat, allowing you to spend the whole day out at sea island-hopping.

OUR OPINION:

Bahia Mar is a comfortable and elegant place to unwind. We feel its setting makes for the ideal place to relax, but enjoy the fact that you have a range of activities to choose from too.
