Fly into Vilanculos on Mozambique’s mainland and feel your cares slip away as you’re met by a representative for your transfer — not by car, but by scenic helicopter. Within minutes, you’re soaring over turquoise seas and white-sand islands, bound for &Beyond Benguerra Island, a barefoot-luxury escape in the heart of the Bazaruto Archipelago. Landing directly at the lodge’s private helipad, you’ll be welcomed into your secluded beach cabana, complete with plunge pool, shaded veranda, and direct ocean views — the start of your unforgettable Mozambique island experience.
Over the next four days, live at your own pace. Dive into scuba adventures, set off on a sunset dhow cruise, or explore by sea kayak, paddleboard, or horseback. Snorkel off untouched reefs, indulge in a castaway beach picnic, or unwind with a cocktail in hand, toes in the sand. A local village tour gives insight into island life, adding a touch of culture to your coastal retreat. At the end of your stay, enjoy one last ocean panorama from the air as your helicopter returns you to Vilanculos for your international flight home — sun-kissed and soulfully satisfied.
