Where to stay in Mozambique

Mozambique’s first luxury eco-retreat, Azura Benguerra was instrumental in raising the country’s luxury benchmark to unsurpassed heights and in so doing, established Mozambique as a serious contender in the style stakes.

Located on the southwest shore of Benguerra Island within Mozambique’s pristine Bazaruto Archipelago, Azura Marlin Beach is a funky, fun and fresh addition to Azura’s existing portfolio of luxury retreats in Mozambique which also includes Azura Benguerra and Azura Quilalea Private Island.

Located a few kilometres north of Vilanculos on its own stretch of beach, this cluster of white-walled stunning villas enjoys an elevated setting overlooking Vilanculos Bay and beyond to the Bazaruto archipelago.

Tumbling much further down Mozambique’s coastline (about 60 miles south of the capital, Maputo), White Pearl is situated on a magnificent private white sandy beach in Ponta Mamoli on the south east coast of Mozambique.

This private wholly uninhabited island, just 86 acres, is surrounded by the pristine waters in northern Mozambique’s Quirimbas Archipelago.
