Island Adventure

Luxe safari operator Andbeyond opens its latest lodge, Andbeyond Benguerra Island, at Mozambique’s Bazaruto archipelago, an underappreciated gem that’s set to become a favourite among beach destinations. Formerly known as Benguerra Lodge, the stunning property opened in June after nearly a year of rebuilding and renovations. Its new look features Afro-portugese design elements unique to the region, with combinations such as thatched roofs and terracotta tiles. Only accessible via a helicopter ride from Vilankulo Airport, the property consists of 10 casinhas, two cabanas and one three-bedroom casa, each boasting a private plunge pool. Guests can enjoy plenty of outdoor activities, including horseback riding, fishing and island hopping. andbeyond.com/benguerra-island
