Azura Benguerra Island

Add to wishlist Contact us

Positioned on the western coast of Benguerra Island in the Bazaruto Archipelago, the tropical retreat of Azura is accessed by a 10-minute helicopter flight over the turquoise Indian Ocean.

A blend of modern chic and traditional Mozambique, the swish, beautiful villas look out over white sandy beaches and are a haven of relaxation with their own pool, private beach sala and a Mozambican butler-host service.

Main areas include a formal dining area, lounge, feature star bar and library, all open to the beach with amazing vistas and cool sea breezes. There are a variety of activities on offer, from Landrover island drives to sunset dhow cruises and the watersports centre offers a fully equipped PADI dive centre and training pool, snorkelling, fishing charters and island hopping explorations. The African Spa offers a limited range of pampering treatments.

Why we like Azura Benguerra Island

With sunny days and starry nights, Azura Benguerra is the perfect place to do as much or as little as you like.
