Off the coast of southern Mozambique, within the Bazaruto Archipelago National Park, lies &Beyond Benguerra Island Lodge. Sheltered by indigenous forest, framed by sweeping beaches and opening onto a protected channel, it’s a place where marine adventure, quiet retreat and warm Mozambican hospitality come together with effortless ease.

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.
