Escape to a place where time has a different meaning… measured in long hours of sunshine, the beauty of tidal sandbanks, lapping waves, passing dhows, ever-changing cloud sculptures, and artistic sunsets. This is the perfect setting to relax and be inspired; to explore nature’s wonders or do nothing but soak it all in from your private beachfront villa. Everything is connected and we honour that in our commitment to protect the environment and give back to our local communities.
Beautiful Benguerra Island is located in the Bazaruto Archipelago on the southern coast of Mozambique and a short flight away from most Southern African safari hotspots. At the heart of a protected Marine National Park with its deserted beaches, idyllic wind-sheltered coves and proximity to Two Mile Reef – famous for remarkable diving, snorkelling and excellent fishing – Benguerra Island is the most exclusive and beautiful island in the Bazaruto Archipelago.
Discover Benguerra Island with Azura Boutique Retreats’ two distinct escapes. Azura Benguerra Island offers barefoot luxury and serene seclusion, while the newly relaunched Azura Marlin Beach blends vibrant island energy with modern comfort. Both promise exceptional hospitality and unforgettable moments in Mozambique’s pristine paradise.
Explore the island and surrounds, as this remarkable stretch of protected marine reserve reveals vibrant natural wonders. Whether your idea of a day in paradise is diving the ocean depths or picnicking on a private sandbank, we have put together a unique collection of activities based on our years of experience and local knowledge. Our speciality is creating incredible experiences found only here
True to the spirit of the island, every meal is served in a different location. From breakfast at the water’s edge to dining on a candle-lit beach beneath the stars, or a picnic on a private island, our chefs prepare signature dishes based on what is in season and freshly available. Menus are light and delicious, and can be enjoyed with delectable wines. This style of dining is an unforgettable part of your island experience.
