Reasons To
Visit Mozambique

  • Barefoot Luxury

    Accommodation is invariably in small, boutique lodges with privacy and tranquillity guaranteed. Despite offering safari destinations for the purist and some of the finest coastal scenery you could wish for, Mozambique is still blissfully off the beaten track.

    Barefoot Luxury

  • Beaches

    Mozambique's shores are scattered with beautiful beaches, some just small coves that are uncovered with the tides, others endless, deserted stretches of soft pearly sand, speckled with shells. There are few better places to relax with a champagne picnic under the shade of an umbrella during the heat of the midday sun.

  • Diving & Snorkelling

    Mozambique boasts some of the best diving and snorkelling sites in Africa, many of them only recently discovered. There are miles of colourful, untouched coral and a multitude of tropical fish species. Dive sites range from six metre beginner spots to vast coral walls for advanced divers to explore.

  • General Wildlife

    A certain amount of patience and open mindedness is required for a safari in Mozambique, but there is big game present in both the Niassa Wildlife Reserve and the Gorongosa National Park. These are incredibly scenic tracts of wilderness, where guided walks and water based activities complement the game drives superbly.

  • Local Culture

    Ibo Island and Ilha de Mozambique are undoubtedly the jewels in Mozambique’s cultural crown. Both have an evocative collection of colonial ruins that is slowly being brought back to life. Dig below the surface and you will also find much of interest in Pemba, Vilanculos and the small communities living on the Bazaruto and Quirimba islands.

  • Marine Wildlife

    Exploring the waters of Mozambique reveals a wealth of marine life, from moray eels and groupers to parrot fish and reef sharks. Both the Bazaruto and Quirimba Archipelago’s attract nesting turtles at varying times, while there are conservation projects in place in the south to protect the rare, endangered dugong.

Azura

Bazaruto Archipelago

Azura means beautiful blue, a fitting name for this luxury eco-retreat located on the north west of Benguerra Island, surrounded by white sand beaches and turquoise seas.

The lodge has ten luxury beach villas, four infinity beach villas and one presidential villa all built in a style that combines traditional African with modern luxury and chic. Each spacious air conditioned villa has its own plunge pool and beachside sala and each is located amongst the palm trees just a stone's throw from the beach. Guests have wonderful privacy and seclusion.

On arrival a bottle of French wine will be waiting for you in your room and during your stay a butler is available to look after your every need. While relaxation in luxurious surroundings is the highlight of Azura there are also a range of activities on offer mainly based in or around the sea.

Guests can snorkel or dive the offshore coral reefs, view dolphins and humpback whales at certain times of year or go out with the Dugong Protection Team to search for these shy and endangered creatures.

Back on dry land, guests can tour the island, climb the sand dunes and visit the freshwater pans. A dhow cruise and private picnic on a deserted beach is also a lovely way to spend the day. Spa treatments are available in the privacy of your villa and all arriving guests are also treated to a complimentary half hour back and neck massage.

While providing a luxurious escape for weary travellers the lodge also works to support the local community through the Azura Rainbow Fund which runs a variety of social and environmental projects including the building of a new school, support for the community after Cyclone Flavio and the formation of the Dugong Protection Foundation.
