"A sustainably built collection of thatched-roof bungalows noted for innovative construction techniques (including 3-D printing and walls made from sand mixed with seawater), offering dune-lined beaches, reef snorkeling, mangrove kayaking and opportunities to learn ancestral fishing methods while prioritizing low-impact design." - Kathryn Romeyn
"An ultra-luxury Mozambican resort cited as an example of the very top end of the market, where standard-room nightly rates can exceed $4,000 and illustrate the sharp rise in luxury-hotel pricing." - Mark Ellwood
"The island of Benguerra is everything you want from an escape, from the climate to the beaches to the picturesque hillsides and dunes. And Kisawa Sanctuary is everything you need from a resort: a thoroughly sustainable operation whose aesthetics combine modern construction methods and traditional crafts alike." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"Kisawa Sanctuary is a resort known for its marine-conservation efforts and strong ties to the local community. The couple's stay included funding scientific research for the area's marine reserve, observing endangered mammals, and enjoying local experiences like a picnic on a sand dune at sunset and interacting with staff at the Baracca beach bar."
"Part of a marine reserve off the coast of Mozambique, Benguerra is everything you want from an island escape, from the mild climate to the sandy beaches and the tall, picturesque dunes." - MICHELIN Guide
