Rio Azul, which opened its doors in November 2007, is set on the shores of the Govuro River, about 130km north of Vilanculos.

Not only is this beautiful estuary the perfect place for a spot of fishing, it is also the kind of retreat where you can easily while away a relaxing afternoon on the wooden deck, listening to lapping waves and bird calls.

Keen fishermen will not want to leave; with good quality estuary fishing, brilliant surf fishing and some of the finest offshore fishing in Mozambique. Rio Azul also has experienced fishing guides, and each room has its own estuary boat.

Paddle a kayak up the mangrove channels, keeping an eye open for kingfishers, crab plovers and fish eagles; enjoy a sundowner cruise on a local dhow or take your private boat out for a bit of exploring and a riverside picnic. The area also offers safe swimming and a bit of snorkelling in Mozambique's clear, warm water.

Rio Azul is located on the Govuro River mouth, about 130km north of Vilanculo, in Mozambique.
