Benguerra Island

Start Planning

If you’re not into big beach hotels, you’re going to love it here. Fringed with storybook palms and teeming with birdlife, Benguerra Island is an extraordinary place. And the perfect spot for post-safari R&R. Watch the chequered sails of the local fishing dhows from the deck of your thatched casinha. Dive in search of rare dugongs. Go swimming on horseback. Feast on crabs the size of your head. And picnic like an indulged castaway on your own private sliver of sand in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

Stuff we love

Indian Ocean beach hideaway

  • Sundowners at the quirky beach bar, fashioned from the hull of a colourful old dhow.
  • Spying kingfishers, ospreys and green malkohas through half closed eyes from the comfort of a hanging day bed.
  • The overwhelming desire to toss your phone into the sea and never to return to the mainland, ever.
