General information

Imagine an un-spoilt island within a National Park, deserted beaches of pure white sand, sparkling turquoise seas crisscrossed by local dhows plying their trade, swaying palms, sunny days and star studded nights and you have Azura- the country’s first luxury 'eco' boutique retreat.

Built entirely by hand by the local community and operated in partnership with them, it has just 15 villas, each with their own infinity pool and designed for both pampering and barefoot escapism. Each is just footsteps from the beach, yet designed with seclusion in mind. Nestled amidst indigenous gardens, you will reside in your own sanctuary. A haven of rest and relaxation, where you can feel at one with the environment. A fusion of indoor and outdoor space where time becomes your own.

With wonderful Mozambican cuisine and friendly service, a vast range of activities and experiences including scuba diving, deep sea fishing, stargazing and a unique African Spa, you have the perfect undiscovered island getaway.

Azura is one of only a handful of resorts in Mozambique where the community are major contributors and stakeholders. Mozambiquean Gabriel and his family, after whom the site is named, first established a tourism business on site several years ago. They are major stakeholders in the resort, and continue to be involved on a daily basis.

Location

Azura is located on Benguerra Island, Mozambique, within the Bazaruto Marine National Park. Benguerra Island lies 14km north east of Vilanculos, the nearest town and site of the international airport.

Activities

You can snorkel or dive, saltwater fly fish or big game fish. Sail on a dhow, or cruise to deserted beaches to look for pansy shells. Gaze at the dolphins, who are regular visitors to the beach, or track down humpback whales on their migration past the shore (seasonal).There are land based activities too. Take a tour of the island, and experience the local culture. Climb the dunes, some of which are scattered with the remnants of ancient Arab pottery. Visit the island’s lakes and spot a crocodile or two. Join one of the star gazing events and lie back and listen to the ancient African stories that chart the cosmos.

Rooms

Each of the 15 villas blends modern chic with all that is traditional in Mozambique. The creature comforts you would expect from a luxury boutique resort are there.
Wander down to the pristine white beach and welcoming azure sea beyond. Lounge around on plump cushions on your daybed.

Dining

Dining is a simple, understated affair. The top chef combines local ingredients with contemporary style and flair. A choice of dishes is always on offer and the chef will happily try to accommodate any personal requests that you may have. Breakfast is buffet style in the restaurant and lunch may be a picnic if you are out enjoying an activity, or informal dining at the Star Bar, or at the Gekko Deck with your feet in the sand.
