This remote retreat sits on miles of pristine white sands within the Bazaruto National Marine Park.
Arrive by helicopter to an island of unspoilt sands, swaying palms and towering dunes, hemmed by glistening waters and sandbar specks… this is a truly special destination. The mineral-rich waters of the Bazaruto Archipelago provide habitat year-round to turtles, dolphins and the rare dugong, as well as humpback whales (mid-June to mid-October) and whale sharks (December to March). Azura’s resort is super stylish and luxurious, but it’s authentic too, with a strong sense of place and culture. Benguerra is the second largest island in the Bazaruto Archipelago and is a working island – Azura shares its home with one other hotel and a friendly subsistence farming community. A 4x4 drive around the island to see the local houses and village bar is a must.
Why we love Azura Benguerra

Each villa has its own private pool, sunbathing deck and butler service
-
You'll be staying close to Two Mile Reef, renowned for its excellent diving and snorkelling
-
The well-stocked wine cellar features a selection of the owners’ wines flown in from their chateau in the Loire Valley.
-
One of the main philosophies at the hotel is to try and never eat in the same place twice
Rooms
Thatched villas use traditional Mozambique materials to create a chic modern design. All villas are secluded in vegetation just a few steps from the beach and each has a Mozambican butler host. Like all of Mozambique’s southern beaches, the beach is tidal, but as every villa here has its own private plunge pool you’ll be able to take a dip at any time of day. For the best views and a larger plunge pool, opt for an Infinity Beach Villa.
In a private beachfront setting at the edge of the hotel, close to the spa. Ideal for honeymooners.
