This opening not only marks a thrilling debut in Zimbabwe but also enhances Minor Hotels’ portfolio to seven Anantara properties across the African continent and Indian Ocean islands. The charm of this latest addition lies in its strategic placement—nestled in a conservation area just a short drive from the iconic Victoria Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage site, thus appealing to eco-conscious travelers and adventure seekers alike.
At the heart of the Anantara Stanley & Livingstone experience are its 16 meticulously designed suites. Each suite boasts flexible configurations, allowing guests to choose between double or twin arrangements—perfect for couples or solo travelers. Notable is the hotel’s family-friendly option, offering interconnecting rooms designed to cater to families traveling together. This attention to versatile accommodation demonstrates Anantara’s commitment to providing a personalized environment for its guests, enhancing the overall visitor experience.
Within the confines of this exquisite hotel, guests can indulge in a culinary journey at the gourmet restaurant, which features indoor and outdoor dining options. Whether enjoying a meal in the dining room, on the terrace, or in the tranquil gardens, visitors are treated to a range of delectable dishes designed to showcase local flavors. Additionally, the lounge and bar area offers a selection of local wines and inventive craft cocktails, ensuring guests have a memorable culinary experience during their stay.
For relaxation amidst nature, the garden swimming pool equipped with shaded loungers serves as an inviting oasis. Complimentary WiFi throughout the property allows guests to stay connected while enjoying their surroundings, a thoughtful touch amid a backdrop of luxury.
The Anantara Stanley & Livingstone provides an array of thrilling activities that truly capture the spirit of the Zambezi region. Guests can embark on exhilarating boat trips to Devil’s Pool or soar across Batoka Gorge via ziplining, offering breathtaking views of this stunning landscape. For those seeking relaxation, Zambezi River sunset cruises present an ideal way to unwind as the day draws to a close. The presence of the Victoria Falls Private Game Reserve adjacent to the hotel allows for exciting game drives, with opportunities to witness conservation efforts focused on black rhinos, further enriching travelers’ encounters with wildlife.
