What’s it like inside the world’s first 3D-printed luxury resort off the coast of Mozambique, opening summer 2020?
Rates at Kisawa resort on Benguerra Island start at US$5,661 per night and it has all the food, wellness and adventure services visitors could want
Sustainability and preserving the local environment might be the next big thing in luxury travel.
Kisawa, a new resort on Benguerra Island off the coast of Mozambique, is betting visitors will pay up for high-end travel using 3D-printing technology to build with the local environment in mind. The resort, which will open in summer 2020, has every amenity imaginable: a dedicated staff, private chefs, food and beverage, wellness and spa, hotel activities such as diving and marine safari and electric vehicles and e-bikes to navigate the 750-acre property.
The resort will have 12 private bungalows of one, two or three bedrooms, each on a private acre with its own beachfront. The one bedroom bungalows will start at €5,000 (US$5,661) per night.
Press releases from the resort emphasise that it will not be fully 3D-printed, but the technology allowing sand and salt water to be used as a building material is still innovative.
The resort is on Benguerra Island, the second-largest island on the Bazaruto Archipelago, which broke off from the African mainland thousands of years ago.
Kisawa was founded by Nina Flohr, a former executive at private jet charter company VistaJet.
Each Kisawa bungalow has a one-acre plot, complete with beachfront, a pool, outdoor kitchen and more.
