A Tropical Island Escape in Mozambique
Benguerra Island, Mozambique
Vibrant and picturesque, andBeyond Benguerra Island Lodge is an all-round beach destination that blends adventure, romance, luxury and local charm. One of our go-to island hideaways in Mozambique, it offers a relaxed yet refined escape on the shores of Benguerra Island.
Surrounded by indigenous forest, the lodge enjoys a naturally cool setting that provides welcome respite from the island’s balmy tropical days. Accommodation is offered across three distinct options, all with beautiful ocean views and a strong sense of privacy.
The Casa Familia is ideal for families or small groups and features three ensuite bedrooms, a generous deck and a private pool overlooking the beach. For couples and honeymooners, two cosy cabanas provide an intimate retreat, while the casinhas offer slightly more space. Both cabanas and casinhas include private timber decks, rim-flow pools, sun loungers and private salas.
Guest areas are thoughtfully designed and include a rim-flow swimming pool, shaded dining spaces within the tropical gardens or under-roof, a striking beach bar created from a traditional wooden dhow, an Island Shop and a dedicated massage sala.
