The Details

Accommodation

Kisawa offers a range of bespoke accommodation, from tranquil One-Bedroom Residences nestled between the dunes to expansive Three-Bedroom retreats linked by open-air decks.

Each bungalow features custom-designed interiors, king-size bedrooms, and spacious living areas, with versatile options like the One-Bedroom with Annex catering to families or support staff.

For ultimate seclusion, The Founding Residence provides a larger private plot, exclusive peninsula views, and a curated collection of pan-African art, while all residences enjoy private infinity pools and seamless indoor-outdoor living.

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 treatments are designed to harmonize the mind, body, and soul for an overall sense of well-being.

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.

Kisawa offers a diverse gastronomic journey, ranging from refined global cuisine at the all-day Main Terrace to Mediterranean-inspired seafood at the relaxed Cove Mussassa.

Guests can savour authentic Mozambican flavours at the barefoot-chic Baracca, grab a fresh slice from the mobile Pizza Tuk Tuk, or opt for On Location and In-Residence dining for bespoke, private meals served anywhere from the coastal dunes to the comfort of their own villa.
