Azura Benguerra
An opulent beach resort handbuilt by the island community
Azura Benguerra
Azura Benguerra is a top-tier luxury resort, offering barefoot luxury and absolute tranquility on a quiet stretch of beach.
The resort was handbuilt by the local community, using tree trunks as supporting beams and crushed oyster shells from local fishermen, seamlessly blending exclusive luxury with a Mozambican charm. The lodge is built directly on the beach and features a picturesque swimming pool and beachside spa.
The star of the show at Azura Benguerra, however, are its 20 private villas with their panoramic sea views, personal host service and large pools. The family Villa Amizade is perfect for families who need more space and facilities, and includes a games lounge for the kids and a well-stocked wine bar for the adults. Your host will ensure your family holiday is completely unique with different dining locations at every meal time, from lunch on the shaded Gecko deck to a candlelit dinner on the beach.
Azura Benguerra has an impressive fleet of seven boats for taking guests on island hopping trips, including snorkelling at the famous Two Mile Reef, while the 5-star PADI centre offers a great opportunity to dive with manta rays or the rare dugong. For something a little different, families can take a day driving around the island, visiting the local school and getting a taste of Mozambican culture.
Azura Benguerra tastefully combines the utmost luxury with a friendly Mozambican charm, and its personalised service is sure to make you Mozambique family safari one to remember.
