"Opening the double-volume doors into a Kisawa Sanctuary room is gobsmacking: pared-back, temple-like serenity with beautiful rooms, a pitch-perfect balance of opulence and simplicity, playful touches like old-school turntables and a color-coded mini moke provided with each villa." - Pippa de Bruyn
"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
"On the island of Benguerra—where the climate, beaches, and picturesque hillsides and dunes deliver everything you want from an escape—this resort provides everything you need: 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."
