THRS (Travel and Hospitality Representation Services) has announced its latest partnership for exclusive sales representation in the Indian market for Kisawa Sanctuary, an award-winning island retreat located on Benguerra Island, Mozambique.
Positioned on the southern tip of Benguerra Island in the subtropical Bazaruto Archipelago, Kisawa sits within a 300-hectare sanctuary of coastal forest, beach, and sand dunes. It lies 14 kilometres off the mainland, in the richly biodiverse Bazaruto Natonal Marine Park. The resort’s name, Kisawa, means “unbreakable”, a fitting reflection of its commitment to forging a deep bond between people, place, life and land.
The property was awarded Two MICHELIN Keys in 2025 by The MICHELIN Guide, placing it among the world’s most exceptional hotels celebrated for deeply personal, place-connected experiences. It was also recognised among National Geographic Traveller’s “Best of the World 2024” for Wellness Experiences, and Kisawa Sanctuary’s Natural Wellness Center (NWC) was named among Elle Decor Italia’s 11 global projects of design distinction in its annual “Best of Interiors Awards”, honouring its thoughtful integration of architecture, nature and healing.
With safari travel in demand and Africa being a preferred destination for Indian travellers, Kisawa Sanctuary offers guests a fresh and compelling luxury island escape. Additionally, for those seeking purpose-driven travel, Kisawa’s symbiotic partnership with Africa’s only Ocean Observatory, the Bazaruto Center for Scientific Studies allows guests to engage in conservation-led experiences, making it an ideal destination for discerning Indian travellers seeking both restoration and connection with nature.

This new addition further strengthens THRS’ growing portfolio of highly-curated travel experiences for the Indian outbound market and marks a key milestone in Kisawa Sanctuary’s global growth strategy, aimed at tapping into the region’s rising demand for luxury, experiential travel.
With Indian luxury travellers increasingly seeking meaningful, off-beat experiences—and outbound tourism spending is projected to rise from USD 18.82 billion in 2024 to USD 55.39 billion by 2034—these partnerships come at an ideal time to meet evolving traveller expectations.
