The fantastic addition to the property embraces Benguerra's unique blend of safari chic with Arabic flair and grandeur, while emphasizing privacy, warm intimate hospitality, fine service and pristine beauty. The Villas offer their guests sophisticated barefoot luxury on secluded white beaches in an unspoilt natural environment all infused with the classic East African safari experience.

Nestled in the privacy and seclusion of a natural milkwood forest each 900 m² luxury Villa is fringed by swaying palm trees and commands exquisite views of the sea and the tropical island environment.
