Welcome to Azura Resort Mozambique 

Azura Benguerra Lodge in Mozambique is located within a Marine National Park.

Imagine an unspoilt island within this Marine Park, deserted beaches of pure white sand that extend for miles, sparkling turquoise seas criss-crossed by local dhows playing their trade, sunny days and star-studded nights.

This is the enchanting island escape you always imagined.

Azura Benguerra, the first eco-friendly resort in Mozambique, was hand-built by the local community and is operated in partnership with it. 

Just 20 villas are nestled along one of the last undiscovered stretches of beach in the world, with all the creature comforts you could wish for.

There are sparkling pools and Mozambican butler hosts to look after your every need, fish and seafood fresh from the ocean and a fantastic range of activities and experiences.

Azura Benguerra Lodge also offers guests an African Spa to relax in, all the community-based projects where the local islanders benefit as much from as you – the island really is paradise found. 

Experience the Azura island as it is meant to be – always at its best!

Azura Benguerra Lodge has been included in the 2017 Travel & Leisure magazine’s World Best Awards.

We are really pleased with this recognition.

We’re also incredibly excited to be participating in the 2017 World Luxury Hotel Awards which we thank our loyal guests for their nomination. 

Azura Benguerra Island’s public areas are right on the beach and open to the sea.

We have created several different zones for your enjoyment and relaxation from the comfortable lounge area to the vibey Star Bar and our fabulous wine cellar offering a selection of the owner’s wines especially flown in from their Chateau in France.

The Jellyfish Restaurant offers breakfast and more formal dining options.

There is also a media room for those requiring TV and internet access, a boutique at reception and our Padi 5 Star dive centre with top of the range Scubapro equipment. 

Azura on Benguerra Island is blessed with hot and sunny weather all year round.

Temperatures are generally in the upper 20’s to low 30’s Celsius and rarely fall below 20 degrees even at night.

The water temperature is gloriously warm and ranges from 24 to 30 degrees and more.

Benguerra Island tends to receive on average a quarter of the rainfall that the mainland does and there can be several months of the year when there is no rain at all.

This makes our landscape very arid and challenges our indigenous gardens and water supply, but usually makes our guests very happy. 

Luxury Beachfront Villas at Azura Boutique Retreat in Mozambique.

Our hand-built villas blend modern chic with all that is traditional in Mozambique.

Each of our 20 villas is just footsteps from the beach, yet designed with seclusion in mind.

Nestled amidst indigenous gardens, we have created your own sanctuary with a personal infinity swimming pool and spectacular beach-side view.

A haven of rest and relaxation where you can feel at one with the environment.

At Azura Lodge we care about making your stay special.

That starts with providing hosts to look after you during your stay.

They will take care of you during your time with us, including serving your meals, setting up your lunch table at the water’s edge or serving the cocktail of the day to your beachside sala as the sun goes down.

Our hosts have a genuine warmth and are friendly and will delight in looking after you.

They have big smiles and even bigger stories to share with you. 

Dining at Azura Benguerra Lodge in Mozambique.

Our aim is for you to never eat in the same place twice during your stay at our luxurious lodge.

At Azura, dining is all part of the experience, from breakfast at the water’s edge to a picnic on a remote sand island to dining on a candle lit beach under the stars.

Our hosts take huge pride in their innovative dining set-ups and little touches to make your stay special.

We have a fabulous wine cellar for special wine tasting events and themed dinners.
