Anantara Hotels, Resorts and Spas is offering resort-hire packages at its island destinations in Mozambique, the Maldives and the UAE.

The experience allows guests to take over Anantara beachfront resorts and have exclusive access to spas, restaurants and resort facilities with staff waiting on their every need. Each destination’s package differs and offers guests a range of leisure opportunities and activities bespoke to each resort, during their stay.

The offer has been developed in response to Coronavirus and provides guests with a private luxury travel experience which removes the risk of being exposed to the virus from other guests.

Resorts involved with the package include Anantara Medjumbe Island Resort in Mozambique, Sir Bani Yas Island by Anantara in the UAE as well as Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas and Anantara Dhigu Resort in the Maldives.

All resorts, except the Mozambique destination, will provide wellness offerings and allow guests access to Anantara spas featuring a range of customisable signature wellness experiences inspired by ancient Ayurvedic wellness traditions.
