Azura Marlin Beach, Mozambique

The ten, Mozambican-chic villas are light, bright and breezy and they all enjoy incredible views across the Indian Ocean from their slightly elevated position atop the sand dunes. Each is a haven of tranquillity, just metres from the sand with a day bed, living area, indoor/outdoor shower and an outdoor deck from which to savour ocean views and the Mozambican sunset. Choose from a Beach Villa, a slightly larger Beach Villa Grande or the two-bedroom Villa Vista, perfect for families. Newly opened in 2020, Azura Marlin Beach enjoys a stunning beachfront location, close to the reefs and glorious picnic spots which can be found just off Benguerra Island. Its style could be described as modern Mozambican with a relaxed, informal vibe.

Dine on delicious fresh seafood from the ocean every day! Breakfast and dinner can be enjoyed at the main restaurant, with lunch usually served by the sparkling pool. Beach dinners with your feet in the sand and the weekly beach BBQ are always a highlight.

Your Mozambican butler-host will look after your every need. There's an African Massage Pavilion for relaxation and a host of activities available including short, easy boat rides for snorkelling and diving on magnificent Two-Mile Reef, sailing in traditional dhows, picnics on remote sandbars and of course deep-sea fishing (tag and release). The outdoor areas all have comfortable four poster daybeds and the chilled-out lounge bar is a great place to meet other guests! There is also a PADI five star dive centre with top of the range Scubapro equipment.
