Azura Quilalea Island

The ultimate castaway island, Quilalea is host to the stunningly relaxing Azura Hotel.

Stretch out, with a sigh, in your hammock slung beneath the branches of a giant, centuries-old baobab tree and you will come to a realisation. That the rest of the world, is mad. Why doesn’t everyone do this?

In fact, almost no-one else does this. Because, with the exception of the few privileged guests of Azura resort, Quilalea Island is uninhabited. It is a tiny gem cast into the Indian Ocean off the coast of Mozambique, and ringed with golden sand. Untouched and virtually undiscovered, Quilalea is a mini-symphony of tropical mangroves, stunning beaches, a kaleidoscopic marine world and, of course, Azura.

Expect private luxury villas stretched out along pristine shores. Thatched roofs, shuttered but unglazed windows, indigenous gardens…and large portions of peace and tranquillity.
