AZURA BENGUERRA A PERFECT ISLAND ESCAPE...

Imagine an unspoiled island within a pristine Marine National Park. Miles of deserted beaches with soft white sand. Sparkling turquoise seas, crisscrossed by local dhow boats plying their trade. Swaying palms, gentle breezes, sunny days and star studded nights. Azura Benguerra's villas blend modern chic with all that is traditional in Mozambique. The creature comforts you would expect from a luxury boutique retreat are there, set off by beautifully carved furnishings and traditional artwork beneath a local thatched jekka roof. All the villas at Azura are just footsteps away from the beach, yet designed with seclusion in mind. 

Azura is the area’s first luxury eco-boutique retreat. Built entirely by hand in partnership with the local community, it has just 18 villas, each with their own private pool stretching out to the Indian Ocean beyond, and designed for the ultimate undiscovered getaway. 

With wonderful cuisine, friendly Mozambican service and a vast range of activities and experiences, including a unique African spa, it’s the perfect island escape. 

The Presidential Villa is perfect for a family holiday with the villa sleeping 4 adults and 2 children, or for the couple who is looking for the ultimate spoil by staying in the most luxurious villa in the Bazaruto Archipelago. 

Villa Amizade has a wonderful location on the western end of the property with magnificent sea and sunset views. This 2 bedroom en-suite villa is perfect for families, friends or those requiring a little more relaxation space.

A kaleidoscope of colour greets you above and below the ocean. Magnificent reefs for diving and snorkelling, home to the turtles that nest on the island’s outer shores. Migrating whales, dolphins, and the elusive and protected dugong ply these waters, along with marlin, sailfish and tuna to tempt the sportsfishermen.

On land, towering sand dunes give way to indigenous bush abundant with local flora and fauna, an interesting variety of birdlife, as well as the odd crocodile or two at the lakes. The island’s local people make for fascinating cultural encounters, and the starry night sky is quite magnificent to behold.

Honeymoon Heaven

Imagine yourself in a beautiful beachfront villa, with sunset cocktail of the day in hand, before enjoying a candle-lit dinner with your feet in the sand. Hold hands, watch for shooting stars, and make a wish.
