"Opened in 2014. What? It's quite the mouthful telling people where you're going to (or where you've been). This latest resort from Anantara is on its own private island in an insanely gorgeous archipelago off the northern coast of Mozambique (facing the world's fourth-biggest island, Madagascar). Get me there now! The island is one kilometer long and 300 meters wide... just enough to allow 45-minute flights from Pemba Airport (reached via Johannesburg, Dar es Salaam, or Nairobi). It's a schlepp, but so worth it for solitary footprints in the sand."
