andBeyond Benguerra Island

On the second-largest island in Mozambique’s protected Bazaruto Archipelago, andBeyond Benguerra Island is a barefoot-luxury beach lodge sheltered by indigenous forest and swaying palms. Ten spacious stone-and-thatch casinhas, plus two intimate cabanas and the three-bedroom Casa Família, open to vast private decks with plunge pools, copper bathtubs, beach salas and mosaic outdoor showers, each framing uninterrupted ocean views. Encircled by pristine coral reefs, idyllic beaches, freshwater lakes and towering dunes, the island is a marine-conservation haven and an aquatic playground. Drift on a traditional dhow at sunset, snorkel or dive vivid reefs, cast for game fish, or simply unwind on the sand: the ultimate Indian Ocean complement to a Royal Ngala safari.
