The Kisawa Sanctuary is a captivating and [tranquil space to unwind](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-a-hotel-1) -- it is designed by the resort founder and creative director Nina Flohr and her own design studio at NJF. The team worked in collaboration with Los Angeles-based Plus Design Group to create a harmonious look.

It is crafted with a focus on three main elements -- tranquility, biodiversity, and privacy. It is found about 12 km away from the Mozambique mainland and can only be accessed by boat or helicopter. There are residences that house [one, two, or three bedrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sadowski-house) -- there are 11 bespoke bedrooms in total. Each one is assigned their own plot of one acre in order to provide privacy.
