Azura Benguerra

Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique

Gold price level

Mango Opinion

Azura is one of the newest additions to the Bazaruto Archipelago. We have yet to get here, but our clients who have stayed here have all raved about the experience. A perfect choice for honeymooners as the villas are luxurious with private plunge pools. Accessed by flights from Johannesburg & Kruger NP, SA, this is a great place to relax & unwind before or after safari.

Located on Benguerra Island within the Bazaruto Marine National Park, Azura Benguerra is the countrys first luxury eco-boutique retreat. Built and operated in partnership with the local community, it has just 14 villas, each with their own infinity pool and designed for the ultimate in pampering and privacy. The villas blend modern chic with all that is traditional in Mozambique. The creature comforts you would expect from a luxury boutique resort are there, set off by beautifully carved beams and traditional artwork beneath a local thatched jekka roof. Each is just footsteps from the beach, yet designed with seclusion in mind. 

Wander down to the pristine white beach and welcoming azure aea beyond. Or lounge around on plump cushions and have your butler serve you tea. Tan in private beneath the swaying palms, and cool off in your sparkling plunge pool. Dine on your deck, or sip a cocktail in your beach side Sala as the sun goes down. Dining is an indulgence: fresh local Mozambican produce, much of it home caught or home grown. Activities available include swimming, snorkeling, diving, big game fishing, kayaking, sailing, and much more. You may also like to enjoy a spa treatment to recharge a bit.
