Two-Bedroom Residence

Comprising two connected bungalows, each residence features custom-designed interiors, a spacious living room, a king-sized bedroom, two dressing rooms, and a shared bathroom.

Three-Bedroom Residence

This accommodation includes three separate bungalows, each with custom interiors, spacious living rooms, king-sized bedrooms, two dressing rooms, and two bathrooms. Two of the bungalows are linked by an open-air deck, while the third is accessible via a nearby footpath over white sand.

The Founding Residence

Comprising two connected bungalows, this unique residence offers bespoke interiors, spacious living areas, king-sized bedrooms, two dressing rooms, and a shared bathroom. It also provides exclusive views across the island’s southern peninsula, a larger private plot, and is adorned with a collection of pan-African antiques and art.

Natural Wellness Center

The standalone Natural Wellness Center (NWC) specializes in holistic healing, offering a wide range of wellness therapies including Ayurveda, meditation, yoga, energy and sound healing, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), acupressure, infrared Iyashi Dome therapy, fitness, and nutrition, all aimed at achieving overall well-being by harmonizing the mind, body, and soul.

Dining at Kisawa

All dining experiences at Kisawa focus on showcasing the best of African and Mozambican flavors in a contemporary style. The resort works with a network of local farmers and fishermen, sourcing natural ingredients within a 300-kilometer radius. Many ingredients are grown or made on-site, including jams, pickles, charcuterie, and cheese, all emphasizing local tastes.

Dining options include:

Main Terrace

Kisawa’s extended living room, open all day, offering refined global cuisine. Serving breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner with the highest quality ingredients.

Cove Mussassa

A laid-back, open-air beach café that serves throughout the day and into the evening, Cove Mussassa specializes in fresh seafood and shareable dishes with a Mediterranean flair.

Baracca  

Baracca offers authentic Mozambican cuisine featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients. This cozy, tucked-away spot within the sanctuary provides stunning sunset views and encourages a relaxed, barefoot atmosphere, welcoming guests directly from the beach.

Pizza Tuk Tuk

A unique, customized Pizza Tuk Tuk that serves freshly baked pizza for lunch or dinner.

Pascal John at Safari.com guided me on different safari lodges (experience, rating), and most importantly knew about specials (buy 3 nights, get 4th for free) which allowed my family to secure a 5-star location at a more reasonable rate. Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
