Benguerra Island | Mozambique

Kisawa Sanctuary

About

Set on the untouched shores of Benguerra Island in the Bazaruto Archipelago, Kisawa Sanctuary is where barefoot luxury meets one of Africa's most extraordinary coastal landscapes. Scattered amongst sand dunes, coastal forest and pristine beaches, each private residence offers complete seclusion, with its own pool, outdoor living spaces and uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean. Every stay is designed to celebrate the connection between people and nature.

Days unfold at your own pace. Sail across turquoise waters on a traditional dhow, snorkel amongst vibrant coral reefs, search for dolphins and the rare dugong or simply wander the endless stretch of beach with only your footprints in the sand. As the sun sets, the sky turns shades of pink and gold, the ocean grows still and the stars begin to appear above one of the most remote islands in the Indian Ocean.

Stay in complete privacy, surrounded by untouched beaches, dunes and coastal forest.

❋ An Island All to Yourself

Snorkel coral reefs, spot dolphins and discover the rich marine life of the Bazaruto Archipelago.

❋ Life Above & Below the Water

From holistic treatments and yoga to peaceful moments by your private pool, wellbeing comes naturally here.

❋ Wellness in the Wild

Kisawa works closely with marine scientists to help preserve the unique wildlife and ecosystems of the archipelago.
