AZURA BENGUERRA
A
zura is a stunning luxury ecoboutique retreat on Benguerra
Island, Mozambique. The island
forms part of the Bazaruto Archipelago,
some 800 km north of Maputo, near the
town of Vilanculos.
The 15 private Beach Villas, Villa
Amizade and Presidential Villa
combine modern chic with traditional
Mozambican design. The spa at Azura
offers signature treatments based on
local ingredients and traditions.
The food at Azura is created by a
top international chef combining fresh
local produce with style and flair.
Azura brings a new level of luxury to
Mozambique and is the perfect island
escape.
Each air-conditioned villa has its own
infinity plunge pool and beachside
sala, and has all the creature comforts
and designer touches expected from
a luxury boutique resort, set off by
beautifully carved beams and traditional
artwork beneath a local thatch roof.
Each villa is a stones throw from the
beach, yet designed with privacy and
seclusion in mind. Nestled amidst the
indigenous trees and bush, the villas
have been painstakingly built to create
your own private sanctuary.
All villas have their own pool, beach
frontage, outdoor sala, sundeck,
daybeds, double outdoor shower and
beach shower. Interiors feature extra
length king size beds (twins available),
full bathroom, dressing room, hairdryers,
mini bar, international plug points, air
conditioning and private butler service.
At least 110 m2 under roof and 645 m2
total private area.
In addition to these facilities, the
Villa Amizade has 2 bedrooms both
en-suite, and the Presidential Villa has
3 bedrooms, all en-suite plus sitting/
dining area, larger pool and extended
decking with Jacuzzi.
