Picture pristine four-poster beds, pretty cabanas with thatched roofs and perfect plunge pools on private decks. What you’re imagining is andBeyond Benguerra Island.
It sits on the second largest island in the Bazaruto Archipelago overlooking the calm waters of the Indian Ocean, home to Africa’s last remaining population of the rare and endangered dugong. We’d describe the vibe as barefoot luxury: there are unspoilt coral reefs, a beach bar that’s the place for sundowner cocktails and the kind of relaxed luxury you only encounter a stone’s throw from the sea.
Water-based activities are big news here. You can dive, snorkel and deep sea fish in the still waters and there are plenty of activities included in your stay – upgrade to fully inclusive and you’ll also get complimentary horseback safari, castaway picnic, swimming with horses and scuba diving (for certified divers only).
