On a pristine white sand beach, on the shores of the most beautiful turquoise sea of the Bazaruto Archipelago, is Azure Benguerra Island, a stunning lodge combining both contemporary style and rustic charm.

This was the first eco-friendly resort in Mozambique, built entirely by hand by the local community and is operated in partnership with them.  It is a community based project where the local islanders benefit as much as the visitors.  The resort’s dedication to conservation and the community lies at the heart of everything they do. Their primary focus is on the community and the preservation of the pristine environment in which they operate and guests have the opportunity to support the Rainbow Fund, which supports local and environmental projects including the island clinic and school. Guests also contribute to the marine reserve by paying the Bazaruto National Park fee.

The resort offers 20 luxurious beach villas, all with private pools set on the sandy beach.  Guests can spend the day relaxing or enjoying many of the water sports on offer, before sipping a tropical cocktail as the sun goes down.
With breathtaking surroundings and impeccable service, alongside the conservation and community partnership, Azure Benguerra is a barefoot getaway where guests can truly unwind & relax in this beach paradise.
