Where in Africa shall we go?

A Tropical Sanctuary in Mozambique's Bazaruto Archipelago
Nestled within the protected marine reserve of the Bazaruto Archipelago National Park, &Beyond Benguerra Island offers guests an unparalleled blend of adventure and relaxation. The island boasts pristine beaches, unspoiled coral reefs teeming with marine life, and a rich tapestry of ecosystems, including freshwater lakes and towering sand dunes.

The lodge features a variety of luxurious thatched accommodations designed to harmonize with the island's natural beauty. Guests can choose from ten Casinhas and two Cabanas, each offering private timber decks, rim-flow pools, and sun loungers with breathtaking ocean views. For families or small groups, the exclusive-use Casa Familia provides three en-suite bedrooms, a large deck area, and a private pool overlooking the beach.

Culinary experiences at &Beyond Benguerra Island are a celebration of local flavors and fresh seafood. Guests can indulge in traditional Mozambican dishes infused with Portuguese influences, with options to dine in the main lodge, on the beach under the stars, or enjoy a secluded castaway picnic on a deserted stretch of sand.

A plethora of activities awaits discovery. The fully equipped PADI Dive Centre offers explorations of some of the world's most pristine reefs, home to a diverse array of marine life, including the rare dugong. Guests can also enjoy sunset dhow cruises, horseback riding along the beach, deep-sea fishing, and guided tours to local villages to immerse in the island's vibrant culture.

For those seeking relaxation, the lodge's massage sala provides rejuvenating treatments with panoramic ocean views. Guests can also unwind by the sparkling lodge pool or sip on a refreshing cocktail at the dreamy Dhow Bar, a converted traditional wooden dhow offering a unique beachfront experience.
