andBeyond Benguerra Island, Benguerra Island, Mozambique

Off the coast of southern Mozambique, within the Bazaruto Archipelago National Park, lies &Beyond Benguerra Island Lodge.

Set between dunes and sea, Benguerra reveals an island rhythm all of its own, shaped by marine wonder, local culture and the endless horizon of the Indian Ocean.

Thirteen spacious rooms are tucked between tropical forest and shoreline, each with a private plunge pool and sweeping ocean views. From intimate Cabanas and elegant Casinhas to the three-bedroom Casa Familia, every space balances generous living with a sense of place.
