In april 2013 we visited Azura for a stay of 4 nights, together with a group of friends. We had the pleasure to enjoy the hospitality of the staff of the presidential villa as well as the generall staff. They made us feel at home in a very personal way, so we left Azura with a lot of good memories.... More

For the second time in three years enjoyed a fantastic holiday at Azura on Benguerra island with a group of friends. We stayed in the PV of Azura. Absolutely fantastic! Extensive use is made of the possibilities Azura offers, such as snorkeling, a trip around the island, enjoyed a lunch at a luxury island, diving, dhow cruise and deep sea... More

After staying at Singita, we chose Azura for the last 4 days of our African holiday to relax. This involved a 4.30 am start for a 2 hour drive, flight from Nelspruit to Johannesburg, on to Vilanculos and a short helipcopter flight to Azura. Hopefully Thomas General Manager at Azura, will be successful in lobbying for the reintroduction of direct... More

Stayed here for a week in early April. The trip gets off to an awesome start with a breathtaking helicopter transfer from Vilanculos airport, over stunning scenery. Very friendly reception. We stayed in an infinity pool villa - very good size, large comfy bed, large shower/bath area, lovely decking outside overlooking the small infinity pool with direct view of the... More

I'm rarely blown away by a place as I always have such high expectations, but wow. I'm going to be gushing here, but Azura is just wonderful on so many levels. When you hear about how it came about, look at the photos of it being built and understand what a positive impact they've had on the Island it's easy... More

Just spent one week in HEAVEN...Paulino was our butler and was just fantastic, as we're all the staff. The place is amazing the day trips we did were sensational. Everyone must do the island hopping.......the highlight. Cannot say enough positives abut this place, it is a long way to fly from Australia but worth every minute and every $

Absolutely fantastic, in spite of a cyclone that cut our stay short... we had to be evacuated from the island, but with such gentleness that it was almost incredible that it was an "emergency situation"!! (special thanks to our butler, Argidio, a great guy!) Highlights: candlelight dinner at the beach, sundowners at our private pool, great snorkeling and diving! Not... More

We spent 6 nights here after a safari to Singita and Londolozi. We loved everything about this very special hotel. Beach was amazing (writing this from my next holiday in Thailand and the beaches here just don't compare at all), rooms beautiful, picnics so special (with dolphins cruising by and complete castaway solitude), and just like at Singita the staff...
