Reviews for Azura Benguerra Island
Awesome Azura
I didn't realise places like Azura and Benguerra island still existed. Flying by helicopter over turquoise waters and swirling sandbanks gave us a foretaste of our extraordinary week there. Azura comprises a handful of luxurious lodges each with their own private pool and path to the beach - it must be all of ten steps from bed to beach. The beach is empty and goes on seemingly forever. We dived, snorkelled, walked to North Point (where we were a couple of metres away from a dolphin) and we rode horses into the water. Nothing was too much trouble for the ever smiling staff. We were more or less barefoot the whole time. Often meals were served on the beach, tables lit by lanterns a couple of metres from the sea. Agostino and Celia looked after us beautifully, Olivia and Anderson worked hard to organise all our activities and the sports team - Lorenzo, Dawson and Xavier couldn't be faulted. Anyone who stays here is lucky indeed! Thank you!

A special place of paradise
Couldn’t have been better!! What a little place of paradise. We were there for 7 days to celebrate our honeymoon and everything was absolutely perfect. From our host Hassane, to our villa, to the absolutely amazing food, to fishing and diving. We are so grateful for everyone and every minute of it. We will be back!!

We are back from a wonderfully relaxing stay at Azura. Individual villas, with pools and right on the beach. The villas are large and tastefully decorated. We were very well looked after by Agostino. We enjoyed a wide variety of activities on offer - fishing, snorkelling, island tour, spa, kayaking - and kids baked with the chef. My children loved the experience and were very well looked after. The public areas are all beautifully done and the food was amazing. We ate mostly seafood which was expertly cooked. We hope to return to Azura.

True Island Paradise!
Crossing from Vilanculos by helicopter and flying over the Indian Ocean added to the thrill of seeing Benguerra island for the first time. As we flew over Azura on approach we could already feel the exclusivity of this island retreat . On arrival at the helipad we were welcomed by hotel staff who greeted us with song and dance, we knew this was going to be a special stay. Olivia a senior manager was waiting for us at the entrance to the reception and instantly endeared herself to us with her witty Irish humour, a true character that as the days progressed really added to our overall experience…. Always visible, highly personalised level of service together with a wealth of knowledge of the Inhumbane region led us to a four night (far too short) blissful stay on this wonderful, idyllic island. Decor of the main lodge area is beautifully inviting, plenty of scrumptious couches and areas to sit for a cocktail, read, or simply watch life go by as people from the local community walk the beach as they have always done, either to fish, to church or school , colourful and joyful with warm waves and smiles . Our private Infinity pool suite with gorgeous garden, trees and bird life was calm and beautiful proportioned, plenty of space, loved the outdoor shower (and Rain products )….. the comfort and sleep quality was exceptional with little gifts appearing on the bed as we retired. Ronaldo our host (ie butler) was at hand day and night. Assisting with breakfast, lunch, bringing complimentary cocktails at 4.30pm and hosting again at dinner, nothing was too much trouble. We walked the stunning sandy beach daily and swam in clear calm warm sea, a true holiday in the sense of peace, nature and relaxation, We loved: snorkelling trip with Sofida on Two Mile Reef a protected marine park (stunning, pristine environment full of marine life in crystal water). Hubby took a four hour fishing trip and returned with two beautiful King Mackerel …….and a giant smile ! Food was great, with flexible dining options. On our last night Ronaldo set up a beautifully decorated dining table with lanterns, and palm leaves on the beach outside our suite and we dined under the stars . The owners of Azura clearly support and work with the local community, create jobs, fund schooling and are conscious of carbon footprint and sustainability which we applaud. We visited Benguerra during May and the temperatures suited us perfectly with little humidity and glorious 25- 27 deg daily, Would we return, absolutely ….. as Olivia might recall we had to be virtually man- handled out of the chair for our checkout ðŸ¤
