Kisawa Sanctuary is a new standard in luxury hospitality, located on Benguerra Island, Mozambique. Kisawa means unbreakable and this defines our commitment: to build a bond between people and place, life and land.

Founded and directed by Nina Flohr and her team at design studio NJF, the property is located across 300-hectares of beachfront calm and coastal forest in a national marine park off the east coast of Mozambique. 14 individually designed bungalows across 8 Residences sit within sheltered coves among the sand dunes overlooking the expanse of the Indian Ocean. 

At the heart of the sanctuary, guests discover shared spaces dedicated to dining, relaxation and wellbeing, along with an expansive Natural Wellness Center (spa).

Kisawa is a modern hospitality experience. We believe our approach addresses modern life in a relevant way. Our values are softly spoken but strongly felt. The hospitality is generous and personalised, with a core sense of care at its heart. 

Since opening in November 2021, Kisawa has picked up several accolades including National Geographic Traveller’s “best island escape”, TIME’s “world’s greatest places” and Travel + Leisure’s “global innovation” award.
