Azura

Imagine an unspoilt island within a National Park, deserted beaches of pure white sand, sparkling turquoise seas crisscrossed by local dhows plying their trade, swaying palms, sunny days and star studded nights.and you have Azura Mozambique.

The first luxury 'eco' boutique retreat in Mozambique. Built entirely by hand by the local community and operated in partnership with them, it has just 14 villas, each with their own infinity pool and designed for both pampering and barefoot escapism

The hand built villas blend modern chic with all that is traditional in Mozambique. The creature comforts you would expect from a luxury boutique resort are there, set off by locally sourced wooden beams and traditional artwork beneath a thatched jekka roof. Each is just footsteps from the beach, yet designed with seclusion in mind. Nestled amidst indigenous gardens, creating your own sanctuary. Wander down to the pristine white beach and welcomin g azure sea beyond. The villas are a welcoming place to stay. You may not want to leave them at all. You'll have a dedicated Mozambican host to look after you during your stay.

They'll take care of all your needs, including serving your meals, arranging activities and joining you on excursions. They are part of Azura's commitment to the community and upliftment of the country's people. Many of them have very little in the way of formal education, but they have a genuine warmth and friendliness, and will delight in looking after you.

Azura has 3 Luxury Beach Villas, furnished in contemporary style and just steps from the beach. Azura also has 11 Infinity Beach Villas. They are furnished in contemporary style and look out over a stunning infinity pool towards the beach and sea beyond.
