The Villa

Benguerra is a unique, African island paradise – washed by the turquoise waters of the warm Moçambique channel.
This is barefoot luxury at its very best. The Lodge is small and intimate and has a rich East African/Arabic feel – evinced in both the décor, and the unique and delectable food, comprised largely of freshly caught seafood.

exotic Portuguese dishes. Lunches are relaxed affairs served in different settings and
always with unsurpassed personal attention.
