Azura Benguerra Island

Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique

Tucked away within a marine national park, Azura Benguerra Island offers a blissful beachside retreat that can top or tail a safari adventure in Southern Africa. We really enjoy the welcoming atmosphere and laid-back living approach during our stay here. 

The lodge boasts 20 rooms that range from intimate villas for two to a selection of Royal Beach Villas, the Villa Amizade, and a Presidential Villa, which are all perfect for small groups or families traveling. The villas are scattered along a pristine beach. Each has been beautifully appointed and offers lovely ensuite bathrooms, private pools, and sun loungers to enjoy the Mozambican sunshine. 

Enjoy a selection of mouth-watering menus at the Jellyfish Restaurant and access to a media room, a boutique for a spot of retail therapy, a spa, and a PADI dive center.

Why We Love It:

Here, Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna/Bonito, King/Queen Mackerel, Prodigal Son, Wahoo, Dorado, Barracuda, and Giant Trevally frequent the waters surrounding the archipelago. We especially love the fact that the lodge has a wonderful tag-and-release initiative. You will also have the opportunity to enjoy a quick helicopter transfer from Vilanculos to the lodge
