The light and airy public areas are open to the beach and sea with amazing vistas across calm blue waters to the Indian Ocean beyond.

One of the highlights at Azura Mozambique is the cuisine which focuses on local ingredients with contemporary style and flair, with an emphasis on fresh fish and seafood. Breakfast is to order in the restaurant, lunch may be a picnic if you are out enjoying an activity and dinner is always a special event, eaten on the beach by candlelight beneath the stars. Secluded beach picnics or romantic candle lit private beach dinners at your villa will make a special occasion truly memorable.

A haven of rest and relaxation the 15 luxury villas that comprise of three luxury beach villas, 10 infinity beach villas, Villa Amizade and a Presidential Villa nestle amidst indigenous gardens. Each is just footsteps from the beach, yet designed with seclusion in mind. Wander down to the pristine white beach and welcoming azure sea beyond. Lounge around on plump cushions on your daybed, or tan in private and cool off in your sparkling plunge pool. Lie in your bath and gaze at the view, or shower beneath the stars. Do whatever you want whenever you want!

Fill the turquoise days with diving, snorkelling, fly fishing and deep sea fishing and experience the local culture of the island. Be pampered at Azura's uniquely African spa that offers signature treatments based on local ingredients and traditions. Scramble up the dunes in search of ancient Arab pottery remnants, island hop to the nearby Pansy Island and sail to a deserted beach on a graceful dhow.
