Intimacy and romance are the cornerstones of any trip to this fabulous beach lodge, positioned on the northwest coast of Mozambique's second-largest island, Benguerra. The site is enchanting, nestled between the trees of an indigenous forest and overlooking the pristine beaches and waters of the Bazaruto Archipelago. And whilst it may look like something from a Bond film, the atmosphere is perfectly relaxed and oozes laid-back island vibes. Spend your days diving or snorkelling in the protected marine waters, home to tropical fish, turtles, whales, dolphins and Africa’s last remaining dugongs, munch fresh seafood on the beach, or cruise the glittering waters at sunset aboard a dhow. We guarantee that every hour will be magical.




There's accommodation to suit every need at Benguerra Island Lodge – from the three-bedroomed Casa Familia to smaller Casinha suites and enchanting beachfront Cabanas. The size may vary, but the luxury is identical. Enjoy great service, pristine views, comfortable furniture both indoors and out, a mini bar, a coffee station and a private plunge pool. Each extravagant en-suite bathroom has both indoor and outdoor showers and a large, glamorous tub for relaxing soaks.
Chilling-out in the dhow that has come to rest on the beach. Watch the sun go down, enjoy an ice-cold something, or settle down with a good book… That’s what we call a holiday!
There’s a variety of different rooms, but all come complete with a private plunge pool so the choice really is all yours… Oh, and make sure to order the calamari whenever it appears.
With so many activities on offer, the days can quickly fill up. Our advice? Take at least a morning or an afternoon to just be…
