Located 14 kilometers off the coast of Mozambique, Kisawa Sanctuary is a true ecological haven spread across 750 acres, with 22 bungalows. Its commitment to sustainability is more than a promise; it’s backed by innovative practices. During construction, a 3D printer was used to create mortar from local sand and seawater, while cement-free building solutions were prioritized. The use of SureFoot systems, which eliminate the need for concrete foundations, reduced cement consumption by up to 60%. Additionally, Sudpave technology was employed to pave the roads using recycled, non-toxic materials.

A ROYAL VISIONARY'S TREASURE

​

The visionary behind Kisawa is Nina Flohr, the daughter of Thomas Flohr, founder of VistaJet, where she served as creative director until 2016.

Nina also carries a royal lineage, as a princess of Greece and Denmark.
Kisawa, however, is her crowning jewel. Nina not only shaped its ecological ethos but also meticulously curated every design detail.

One striking example is her collaboration with the local community from the very beginning of the project. She prioritized hiring women and worked closely with Mozambican artisans to reflect the traditions and culture of the region.​ To celebrate African craftsmanship, she also sourced objects and accessories from across the continent. From Nupe pottery crafted by a Nigerian tribe to hand-carved Makonde chairs from Tanzania, and antique pieces from Senegal and Ghana, every corner of Kisawa showcases these elegant ethnic elements.​
