In a significant move for luxury tourism in Zimbabwe, Minor Hotels is set to launch its first property in the country—the Anantara Stanley & Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel—on December 1. This new addition marks the seventh Anantara hotel across Africa and the Indian Ocean islands, enhancing the brand’s portfolio in a region known for its natural beauty and adventurous experiences. With rising international travel interest in Africa, the hotel is strategically positioned to cater to both leisure and adventure-seeking travelers.
Exquisite Accommodations with Family-Friendly Features
The Anantara Stanley & Livingstone boasts 16 elegantly designed suites, each equipped with flexible configurations that allow for both double and twin arrangements. Families will appreciate the availability of interconnecting rooms, ensuring privacy while keeping everyone close-knit during their stay. This thoughtful layout highlights the hotel’s dedication to providing personalized guest experiences, making it an ideal choice for families looking to explore the wonders of Victoria Falls.
Dining at the Anantara Stanley & Livingstone promises to be a remarkable experience, thanks to its gourmet restaurant that offers a variety of delectable cuisines. Whether dining indoors, on the terrace, or amid the serene gardens, guests can savor their meals while taking in the stunning surroundings. Additionally, the lounge and bar provide a vibrant atmosphere with a selection of local wines and craft cocktails, encouraging guests to unwind after a day of adventure.
Beyond luxurious accommodations and fine dining, this property is uniquely positioned to offer a plethora of thrilling activities. Guests can embark on heart-pounding boat trips to Devil’s Pool, ziplining across the Batoka Gorge, or experiencing breathtaking aerial views through helicopter flights. Sunset cruises on the Zambezi River provide a serene way to end the day, creating unforgettable memories for visitors. Furthermore, the hotel’s proximity to an active waterhole in the Victoria Falls Private Game Reserve opens up opportunities for guided game drives and essential black rhino conservation initiatives.
The opening of the Anantara Stanley & Livingstone not only enriches Zimbabwe’s luxury lodging options but also complements The Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Zambia Hotel by Anantara, fostering a unique dual-destination experience across the Zambezi River. Looking ahead, Minor Hotels has ambitious plans for further expansion in Africa, with a noteworthy project in the pipeline—Anantara Kafue River Tented Camp in Zambia, slated for a mid-2025 launch. Currently, Minor Hotels operates an impressive collection of 27 properties in nine African nations under various brands, including Anantara, Avani, NH, and Elewana Collection, showcasing their robust footprint in the region.
The Anantara Stanley & Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel signifies a monumental step for Minor Hotels as it positions itself among the leading luxury hotels in Zimbabwe, eager to cater to travelers seeking an unparalleled blend of elegance, adventure, and natural beauty. As travel resumes and interest in unique global destinations increases, the hotel is poised to become a premier choice for discerning guests.
