With a view of lapping, turquoise waters and powder-fine sand, the resort feels like your own piece of paradise. Azura believes every day should be different and it's a promise they have no trouble keeping with activities like island-hopping, snorkelling and cocktails on the beach. Living up to Azura Retreat's reputation, the resort takes care of its seaside world - the villas were built by local people using sustainable materials and most furnishings were hand-crafted by communities across Southern Africa. Wake up to the sound of the surf from your private villa in a place where nothing is hurried.

Azura has 10 private villas, which are decorated in pops of bright blue, shabby-chic wooden furnishings and woven rugs. Each comes with a canopied king-size bed (or twin beds), air con, mini bar and spacious deck with a comfortable sitting area and outdoor shower. The grandest is Villa Vista, which is ideal for families with 2 en-suite bathrooms, an indoor entertainment area with a bar and a lovely private pool. Down on the beach, each villa also has a rustic sala to soak up the views!
The beach bar! It's right by the pool with large cushions on the sand and a winning atmosphere.
If you plan on enjoying the glorious waters of Benguerra on a SCUBA diving excursion and you're a first-timer, be sure to do the theory portion of the course before you arrive.
The island is wonderfully remote but this means it takes a few extra steps to reach the resort including a helicopter transfer.
