    Overview

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

    This unspoiled island provides stunning views of pure white sand that extend for miles, coupled with sparkling turquoise seas crisscrossed by local dhows plying their trade. Azura Benguerra, is the first eco-friendly resort in Mozambique, was hand-built by the local community and is operated in partnership with it.

    Just 20 villas are nestled along with one of the last undiscovered stretches of beach in the world, with all the comforts you could wish for, sparkling private pools, Mozambican butler-hosts to look after your every need, fish and seafood fresh from the ocean, a fantastic range of activities and experiences, an African spa to relax in, all at a community-based project where the local islanders benefit as much as you.

    The hand-built villas blend modern chic with all that is traditional in Mozambique. Each of the 20 villas are just footsteps from the beach yet designed with seclusion in mind. Nestled amidst indigenous gardens, a private sanctuary has been created, with a personal infinity swimming pool and spectacular beach-side view.

    Azura boasts

    • 10 Infinity Beach Villas
    • 3 Luxury Beach Villas
    • 3 x Beach Villas
    • 2 x Royal Beach Villas
    • 1 x Villa Amizade (2-bedroom suite)
    • 1 x Presidential Villa

    Azura Benguerra Island’s public areas are right on the beach and open to the sea. There are several different zones for your enjoyment and relaxation, from the comfortable lounge area to the vibey Star Bar, and the fabulous wine cellar offering a selection of the owner’s wines, specially flown in from their Chateau in France. The Jellyfish Restaurant offers breakfast and more formal dining. There is a media room for those needing TV and internet access, a boutique at reception, and a Padi 5 Star dive centre with top of the range Scubapro equipment.

    Azura Benguerra can be easily combined with a Kruger or Sabi Sands Safari; Airlink flies from Nelspruit (KMIA) airport to Vilanculos daily. You will be able to enjoy a game drive in the morning and sip your cocktail on the Azura beach in the afternoon.

    Azura on Benguerra Island is blessed with hot and sunny weather year-round. Temperatures are generally in the upper 20′s to low 30′s celsius, and rarely fall below 20 degrees even at night. The water temperature is gloriously warm and ranges from 24-30 degrees plus. Benguerra Island tends to receive on average a quarter of the rainfall that the mainland does, and there can be several months of the year when there is no rain at all. This makes the landscape very arid and challenges the indigenous gardens and water supply, but usually makes guests very happy!

    Why We Love It
    • Azura Benguerra Island focuses on keeping the community involved by making locals major stakeholders and contributors to their eco-tourism efforts
    • The owners of Benguerra Island chose to bring in the local community instead of outside contractors to build the property. They trained the local islanders in vital building skills, which enabled them to find new employment in the booming construction industry afterwards. They built Azura by hand!
    • This island is perfect for guests looking for an adventure getaway. Experience magnificent reefs for diving and snorkelling, home to the turtles that nest on the island’s outer shores. Migrating humpback whales, dolphins, and the elusive and protected dugong ply these waters, along with marlin, sailfish and tuna to tempt the sports fishermen. There is a vast array of birdlife, the local people make for fascinating cultural encounters, and the starry night sky is quite magnificent to behold
    • Azura’s spa signature treatments are based on local ingredients and traditions and offer a wonderfully relaxing and pampering experience
    • Azura Retreats introduces the new Peri-Peri Beach Club, encouraging guests to spend days lounging at the beach bar or pool, enjoying their favourite Mozambican cuisine, magnums of French Rosé wine, or creating their own cocktails through the specially designed mixology menu
