Mozambique Hotels: Azura at Gabriel's in the Bazaruto Archipelago

LOCATION
 

Azura at Gabriel's is built along the northwest coast of Benguerra Island, in the Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique.
 

Azura has a casual elegance and relaxed atmosphere; the perfect combination for an island getaway.
 

On The Beach - walk straight out of your villa onto white sand, stretching for miles in either direction.

Huge Villas - each spacious villa has a massive bathroom, infinity pool & twin outdoor shower. 

Abundant Seafood - feast on grilled fish, huge prawns and crayfish barbecued on the beach.
 

Azura at Gabriel's is a beautiful, new beach lodge on Benguerra Island - the second largest island in the Bazaruto Archipelago. Amazing attention to detail has gone into the construction of this boutique island retreat, giving you a good slice of barefoot luxury at its best.
 

15 thatched villas are positioned along an incredible stretch of sand, lapped by Mozambique's turquoise waters. The surrounding ocean forms part of a National Park and offers exceptional Snorkelling and scuba diving (Azura has a gold rated PADI dive centre), as well as catch-and-release deep sea fishing.
 

However, possibly one of the best things to do is absolutely nothing. Settle onto the plump cushions shaded by thatched beachside salas, and watch dhows sail by on the translucent sea.
 

Azura is the country's first luxury eco-boutique retreat. Built in partnership with the local community, the owners are passionate about the environment and actively involved in a number of exciting projects which they will happily tell you about.

Dining

Meals at Azura are a real treat with an abundance of fresh seafood including appetizing seafood, barbecues on the beach - tucking into huge prawns and lobster tails with your toes in the sand is an experience not to be forgotten. Lunch is a la carte with a choice of delicious, crunchy salads and other light meals.
 

There's a choice of dining venues. The main restaurant has magnificent ocean views, then there's the Star Bar with its high thatched ceiling hung with paper stars or, a short stroll down the beach, the Gheko Deck. You can also ask for a picnic basket and search out a secluded spot for a romantic picnic for two.

To compliment your food, the extensive wine cellar includes fine wines flown direct from the owner's chateau in France's Loire Valley.

 

ROOMS.

Each of the 14 private beach villas at Azura at Gabriel's are extremely spacious, with big comfortable beds, huge bathrooms and infinity swimming pools looking out onto the tropical turquoise sea. The style is beach like, with beautifully carved furniture and traditional artwork.
 

A few steps away, on the sand itself, there is a thatched sala with a daybed where you can relax away from the heat of the day while reading`` a good book. Each villa also has its own butler, so you can really relax knowing an ice cold drink is close at hand.

The Presidential Villa has it all - two en suite bedrooms, indoor and outdoor bathrooms, a sitting room with fireplace, dining area, huge pool and Jacuzzi. This large villa has a beautiful beachfront location at the end of the property, enhancing its privacy.
