Exemplary island-style living in Mozambique – Currently closed

 As a child, did you envision yourself as Robinson Crusoe or as a castaway on a secluded island?  It appears that aspirations can indeed be realized.  Azura Quilalea Private Island is situated on a secluded island paradise inside the Quirimbas Archipelago in northern Mozambique.  Surrounded by a marine reserve, this Eco-Boutique resort provides a remarkable exclusivity, enabling guests to seamlessly evade the pressures of daily life.

A plethora of marine life, scuba diving, and snorkeling are readily accessible from the primary beach, with exhilarating dive opportunities located further away.  Humpback whales and nesting turtles are seasonal inhabitants of the island, although amiable dolphins are a perennial attraction.  Notable activities encompass kayaking through mangroves, sailing aboard traditional Mozambican dhows, and deep-sea fishing.  Terrestrial activities encompass cultural excursions to Ibo Island, island treks to the colossal baobabs, picnics, intimate beach meals, and therapies at the African Spa.

The nine Seafront Villas are constructed from natural coral stone and makuti thatch, featuring a decor that is both basic and elegant.  All villas are equipped with air-conditioning, indoor and outdoor showers, daybeds, and sun loungers for relaxation, as well as private decks extending to the beach.
