Luxury safaris in Mozambique

The best lodges for a luxurious beach getaway in Mozambique

Mozambique is off the beaten track. The tourism industry is currently still developing and many establishments focus on sustainable hospitality. However, the remote nature of many of Mozambique’s best lodges results in them creating highly exclusive experiences – usually together with excellent levels of luxury.

Such opulent retreats are often located on private beaches (sometimes even private islands) surrounded by crystal-clear waters within reach of some of East Africa’s best diving and snorkelling spots. The food prepared will mostly be delightfully fresh; the service is attentive and these places excel at helping you to enjoy your luxurious beach holiday.

Southern Mozambique combines well with a safari in one of the South African countries while the north is an excellent opportunity for a beach getaway after a trip to Kenya or Tanzania.

Benguerra Lodge

A plunge pool on your private veranda with stunning views across the ocean awaits you at the luxurious Benguerra Lodge. Treat yourself to a pampering massage and end the day with a sundowner at the unique, very cool beach bar made from an old dhow.


Azura Benguerra

Azura Benguerra is a luxurious beach retreat on the pristine Benguerra Island. Beautifully designed villas blend modern comfort with natural elegance, each with private plunge pools and butler service – perfect for a secluded, high-end escape.


Anantara Bazaruto

The villas at Anantara Bazaruto are bright, spacious and stylish – some even have their own private splash-pool. With a pampering spa, two lovely swimming pools and plenty of activities, it’s perfect for a varied relaxing luxury beach escape!
