Kisawa Sanctuary Kisawa Sanctuary

Kisawa Sanctuary is a place where wilderness and wellbeing come together, carefully, and comfortably. Explore this serene escape filled with forest, beach, and sand dunes on the southern tip of Benguerra Island.

Set sail for Mozambique and experience the African beach holiday of your dreams at Kisawa Sanctuary. This dreamy escape is located within Mozambique’s Bazaruto Archipelago, a national park comprised of five islands, each known for their white beaches and exotic marine life.

As the Sanctuary in Kisawa’s name might suggest, sustainability is high on the priority list for this beautiful resort. The Bazaruto Center for Scientific Studies, Kisawa’s non-profit sister property, is located at the opposite end of the island. This strategic location uses the latest technology to support environmental management at the local level, while contributing to international scientific programs. This research allows the property to play an ongoing positive role in the lives of the people of Mozambique and its natural surroundings.

Closer to home, Kisawa is a combination of 11 bungalow residences positioned across a 300 hectare stretch of forest, beach and sand dunes. Consisting of one-, two-, and three-bedroom options, these residences feature their own private beach, an open-air deck, infinity pool, outdoor day area, and kitchen.

Kisawa Sanctuary is an all-inclusive experience, and guests here are treated to a culinary journey through the best of African cuisine. A network of farmers and fishermen from within 300km of the resort supply the bulk of the ingredients, with as much as possible grown and made in Kisawa’s own kitchen. Guests can dine with toes in the sand on the beach, in their own residence, or explore options like the resort’s own Pizza tuk-tuk.

For those seeking rejuvenation, Kisawa’s standalone spa is a must visit. This haven of tranquility specializes in Ayurvedic offerings, achieving wellbeing through unity of mind, body and spirit. Experience facilities like an infrared sauna, a custom yoga nest, lagoon pool, and watersports.
