Give an experience as a gift
Even though it is sometimes difficult to make sense of the situation in which you find yourself, it is necessary to look forward to tomorrow with hearts full of hope. Be grateful for that which has been and remember the strength that lies within all of us. May you find a reason to get up and be happy every day, because the rainbow is always the most beautiful after the worst storm.
For more than a month, the world has been navigating uncharted waters, but it’s full steam ahead for ATKV Resorts and its innovative approach.

During this time of uncertainty and change, we want to reassure the public that our management team is working nonstop to ensure we can welcome them back to one of our resorts again – because, at ATKV Resorts, we deliver a service. It’s our job and our duty to let people relax. To let them kick off their shoes and help them to forget about work, stress and routine for a moment. In a way, we give people hope again.
We appreciate your continued support and that you still choose ATKV Resorts as your preferred destination for perfect family holidays.
BRINGING BACK THE GOOD NEWS Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, we are excited to share some big news with you.
Have you always wanted to send someone special on holiday, or contribute to their planned holiday? Now you can! ATKV Resorts offers you the opportunity to gift them an experience that they will always remember. Now, we also offer our own online gift vouchers.
You can now buy an ATKV Resorts gift voucher from the comfort of your own home or office and send it to that special person. It saves you the time and effort of going to the shops. And there’s even better news – we give you the choice to give this gift as a surprise, which means that we will send it to you first, so that you can decorate the gift voucher yourself, or you can opt for us to send it directly to the special person, chop-chop, on your behalf. They can then use the gift voucher as payment toward their next booking at any of our seven resorts.

All about well-being
Minor Hotels’ properties in Africa provide travellers with a renewed focus on their physical and mental well-being in the wake of Covid-19.
Once travel restrictions are eased, many people will be looking to get away to remote destinations to experience some downtime or for a quick weekend escape in natural surrounds. With this in mind, Minor Hotels is committed to ensuring the wellbeing of guests, and its Anantara and Avani properties are ideally positioned to offer guests much needed reprieve.
The spa at The Royal Livingstone Hotel by Anantara is a sanctuary that provides indigenous wellness culture and breathtaking scenery. The treatment menu draws on revered local wellness traditions and age-old beauty secrets. Carefully crafted packages provide deeply rejuvenating journeys and a welcome foil to action-packed escapades. The hotel’s wellness offering is extended through weekly complimentary yoga sessions that take place on the deck overlooking the Zambezi River.
Guests can escape to Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort for a rejuvenating spa holiday on the secluded island of Bazaruto, Mozambique – a quick hour-and-forty-minute flight from Johannesburg to Vilanculos airport. The resort is a wellness destination that provides for solitude, with the spa being perched above the highest point of the premises and offering guests serene views of the Indian Ocean. The tranquil setting with breathtaking views surrounded by azure waters is the perfect getaway to help guests discover a naturally calm state of well-being and vitality post the Covid-19 lockdown.
A TASTE OF AFRICA For those who have been longing for adventure, a getaway to Zambia will provide an outlet for all the time spent indoors. Less than a two-hour flight from Johannesburg, a trip to the Victoria Falls will not only provide much needed time in the outdoors but is also a definite bucket list destination. Avani Victoria Falls Resort and The Royal Livingstone Hotel by Anantara provide bases from where travellers can explore the Victoria Falls.
The area is a haven for a range of thrilling water, land and sky adventures. A daring highlight of visiting Victoria Falls is swimming in Devil’s Pool. This uniquely located plunge pool resides right on the edge of the falls, providing a pulse-racing dip for those brave enough to venture into the Zambezi River. Wildlife river safaris offer excellent game and bird viewing, while the rushing rapids of the Batoka Gorge offer the heart-pumping thrills of white-water rafting and jet boating.
For a scenic road trip, the drive from Johannesburg to the Mountain Kingdom will take you to the doorsteps of Avani Lesotho Hotel & Casino, where guests will be greeted by warm Basotho hospitality. The hotel provides a trendy base from which to explore the magnificent landscapes of Lesotho, which host a range of hiking, horse-riding and mountainbiking trails to meet the skill levels of any traveller. Many local tour operators offer authentic Basotho experiences on pony rides that spend the night in local villages, while a visit to Maletsunyane Falls provides a glimpse of the 192 m waterfall.
