&Beyond Benguerra Island

&Beyond has done a remarkable job in the African tropics!! Benguerra is a small island in Bazaruto Archipelago in Mozambique. This place is relaxed, casual and super exclusive in its own way. If you are looking for a secluded resort with pasta menu this is certainly not a place for you. This place is charming because it is integrated in the everyday life of local community of about 1.000 people who live on the island. You see them fishing, catching crabs on low tide, walking on the beach or going to school… They make this place so special that you can’t beat it!

Start your day with the perfect breakfast with your favorite tropical fruits watching the ocean…

The place is quite and relaxed and for most of the day you can stay alone at the beach or at your plunge pool seeing no one.

Gin&tonic against mosquitos, the rest is optional… coffee+coconut was delicious!
