About Azura
|
|
|
|
The beauty of Azura Mozambique is characterised by its pure white sanded beaches, sparkling turquoise seas, swaying palm trees and breathtaking panoramic views. Azura is the country’s first luxury 'eco' boutique retreat. Built entirely by hand by the local community and operated in partnership with them, it has just 14 villas, each with their own infinity pool and designed for both pampering and barefoot escapism.
Friendly staff, a host of different island activities and exquisite Mozambican cuisine are but a few of the reasons which makes Azura a dream African honeymoon destination. World class dining, warm tropical waters, scuba diving and a unique African Spa all culminate in Azura being one of the perfect undiscovered honeymoon getaways.

The Resort
|
|



|
|
Azura boasts handbuilt villas that blend modern chic with all that is traditionally Mozambican. The creature comforts you would expect from a luxury boutique resort are standard, set off by locally sourced wooden beams and traditional artwork beneath a thatched jekka roof.
The handbuilt villas are a tasteful blend of modern chic and traditional Mozambican styling. The luxury of modern resorts is substantially housed under indigenous wooden beams and thatched roofing. Each villa is but a stone’s throw away from the beach, yet this does not deter from the seclusion and privacy of Azura living. Nestled amidst tropical gardens, here lies a honeymoon destination that is to be revered. The comforts of modern luxury are fused with the raw beauty of island living, simply awesome.
The warm ivory white sands are welcoming, as is the friendly staff and the tropical ocean waters. Honeymooners are treated to levels of luxury once available to royalty alone. Sparkling plunge pools during the day provide a welcomed escape from the exotic temperatures. Private dining experiences amidst the backdrop of a superb sunset provides for an unforgettably romantic experience. Open sky shower and bathing facilities allows for intimacy at a level only dreamed of. Azura undoubtedly sets the stage for an African honeymoon experience that can simply be described as intoxicating!
Each villa is accompanied by a personal Mozambican host who ensures that customer service remains exemplary throughout the honeymoon stay. The role of the host is multifaceted, from serving the meals to arranging activities. Many of them have very little in the way of formal education, but they have a genuine warmth and friendliness, and will delight in looking after you.
The pristine white beaches and the tropical Indian Ocean that laps at the shoreline provides for breathtaking vistas. The African décor and Mozambican styled furnishings are beautifully contrasted amidst the backdrop of the Indian Ocean and the tropical flora. The stylish Azura furnishings are well complimented by the soft, cool colours of the Azura nature. Sip champagne on the beach with your feet in the sand, or snack on fresh sushi in the Star Bar, which showcases the magnificence of the skies above you. Everything that is Azura culminates in a honeymoon experience that is comfortable, simple, spacious and chic.

Activities at Azura

|

Our staff are always on hand to look after your every need. Or simply wander off and discover more of what this beautiful island has to offer. It all right there, waiting for you.
Our uniquely African spa
Azura’s spa has 2 double treatment rooms located right on the beach and open to the breezes so that you feel at one with nature. Local ingredients and traditional methods are key to relieving post-wedding tension. Be rubbed down with ground coconut and natural spices, covered head to toe with tamarind and aloe, and gently massaged with warm marula oil. Let your senses be overwhelmed by the aromas and sounds that surround you. Here is an African honeymoon experience that is difficult to be matched anywhere else.
Nothing is hurried. Relax, lie back and be pampered. In your villa if you choose (and until the new spa opens). Take in the aromas and sounds that surround you. And savour the experience.
Dining is a simple understated affair. The gourmet chef is skilled in preparing dishes that combines local ingredients to form exquisitely tastefully masterpieces. A variety of different meals are available, and the chef is more than happy to accommodate any personal requests.
We offer a variety of special dining options too, including secluded beach picnics or romantic private beach dinners at your villa. Dinner is always a special event, eaten on the beach by candlelight beneath the stars whenever we can.
Diving and Snorkelling
A vast pallet of colours decorates the world under the tropical blue Indian Ocean waters. Exotic reefs provide homes for nesting turtles, migrating ocean mammals as well as countless fish species. This is any diver’s or sports fisherman’s wildest fantasy. On land, massive sand dunes give way to an abundance of indigenous fauna and flaura. The panoramic views and animal life to be experienced on land is only rivalled by the beauty of the life under the sparkling tropical waters. The world famous aquarium at 2 Mile Reef is another honeymoon attraction not to be missed.
The island’s local people make for fascinating cultural encounters, and the starry night sky is quite magnificent to behold. Guests staying more than 3 nights will receive a free landrover island drive, sunset dhow cruise, and 15 minute refresher massage on arrival (subject to availability). We also arrange lots of special treats for honeymooners!
With the sea right there, many of our activities are focused around it. You can snorkel or dive, saltwater fly fish or big game fish.Watch the sunset as you sail on our dhow, or cruise to deserted beaches to look for pansy shells. Gaze at the dolphins, who are regular visitors to our beach, or track down humpback whales on their migration past our shores (seasonal). The world famous aquarium at 2 mile reef and nearby Pondo Dundo offer variety.
Pansy Island visits
This island emerges from the sea at low tide. Take a picnic and look for pansy shells.
Dhow sailing
Time stands still as your butler/host will serve you snacks and drinks on our 40 foot traditional dhow as the sun goes down.There are land based activities too. Take a tour of the island, and experience the local culture.
