Overview of Azura Benguerra
Casual elegance and a relaxed atmosphere await guests on the north-west coast of Benguerra Island in the Bazaruto Archipelago: Azura – Mozambique’s first luxury eco-boutique retreat. Amazing attention to detail has gone into the construction of this beautiful lodge, giving you a good slice of barefoot luxury at its best. And with its position along an incredible stretch of sand lapped by turquoise waters, Azura offers activities in abundance.
The surrounding ocean forms part of a national park and offers you exceptional snorkelling and scuba-diving. Azura has a gold-rated PADI dive centre and also offers catch-and-release deep sea fishing trips. However, one of the best things to do is absolutely nothing: settle onto the plump cushions shaded by thatched beachside salas and watch dhows sail by on the translucent sea.
