Kisawa Sanctuary, Mozambique
Overview
Set across 300 hectares of forest, beach, and sand dunes on Benguerra Island in the Bazaruto Archipelago, Kisawa Sanctuary is a bold expression of sustainable luxury and cultural connection. Designed as “a place to bring wilderness and well-being together,” it combines barefoot island living with cutting-edge craftsmanship, offering an immersive retreat where exclusivity and purpose align.
The sanctuary features just 12 residences, each with private one-acre plots, infinity pools, open-air decks, and direct access to the beach. Built using pioneering 3D sand-printing technology alongside traditional Mozambican craft, the villas fuse natural textures, thatch, and reed with bespoke furniture and vibrant local artistry. The result is a sense of privacy and space that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted in its surroundings.
Wellness and nature are at the heart of the experience. Guests can explore the marine park through diving, snorkelling, or dhow sailing, join conservationists working on dolphin and manta research, or relax into wellness rituals inspired by traditional healing. Dining is equally flexible, with options ranging from beach picnics to chef-curated menus featuring fresh seafood and organic produce from the sanctuary’s own gardens.
