The hospitality firm Minor Hotels is proudly unveiling its first venture in Zimbabwe with the much-anticipated launch of the Anantara Stanley & Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel on December 1st. This new establishment adds to the hotel’s impressive portfolio, marking it as the seventh Anantara location within Africa and the Indian Ocean region. The strategic choice of location—just a 15-minute drive from the majestic Victoria Falls—promises to attract both adventure seekers and luxury travelers alike.
The Anantara Stanley & Livingstone offers a refined experience with its 16 elegantly designed suites, each featuring versatile configurations that accommodate both double and twin needs. This careful planning is particularly beneficial for families, as the hotel includes two sets of interconnecting rooms. Such arrangements highlight the establishment’s commitment to catering to diverse clientele, ensuring that guests of all ages can enjoy a comfortable and memorable stay.
Dining at the Anantara is poised to be a focal point of the guest experience. With a gourmet restaurant offering various settings—from a sophisticated dining room to serene terraces and gardens—culinary enthusiasts will have ample opportunity to indulge in meticulously prepared meals. The hotel’s lounge and bar enhance the experience with a selection of local wines and innovative craft cocktails, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.
The leisure offerings are equally impressive; guests can enjoy a range of activities, from exhilarating ziplining across the Batoka Gorge to tranquil boat trips on the Zambezi River. Those seeking a more aerial perspective can opt for helicopter rides, ensuring a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscapes. The sunset cruises along the river provide a picturesque end to busy days.
A distinctive characteristic of the Anantara Stanley & Livingstone is its location adjacent to an active waterhole within the Victoria Falls Private Game Reserve. This not only enriches the wildlife experience for guests but also allows for hands-on participation in conservation efforts related to black rhinos. Game drives present opportunities to witness diverse wildlife in their natural habitat, making the connection with the surrounding ecology both engaging and educational.
The opening of the Anantara Stanley & Livingstone represents a significant milestone for Minor Hotels, laying the groundwork for further expansions in the African market, such as the upcoming Anantara Kafue River Tented Camp scheduled to open in mid-2025 in Zambia. With 27 properties spread across nine African countries and a global portfolio of over 550 hotels, Minor Hotels is firmly establishing its presence and influence in the luxury hospitality sector.
The Anantara Stanley & Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel is set to redefine what luxury hospitality means in Zimbabwe, offering unparalleled experiences that blend adventure, relaxation, and a deep connection to nature.
