The best area to stay on Benguerra Island is along its western and north-western coastlines, where the island's premier resorts are located.
This stretch of coast offers direct access to the calm, turquoise waters of the Mozambique Channel, protected by the Bazaruto Archipelago. It's characterised by pristine white sand beaches and lush coastal vegetation. Most accommodations here are discreetly integrated into the natural landscape, offering privacy and direct beach access.
For couples seeking a luxurious and secluded retreat, the north-western side of the island is ideal. Here, you'll find lodges that specialise in private villas, often with individual plunge pools and direct beach access. The focus is on intimate experiences, with opportunities for private dining, spa treatments, and sunset cruises directly from your accommodation.
Families travelling with older children will also find excellent options along the western coast. Many lodges offer larger villas or family rooms with multiple bedrooms and shared living spaces.
