Azura Marlin Beach, the latest addition to Azura’s portfolio of luxury retreats in Mozambique, located on the Southwest shore of Benguerra Island within the unspoilt Bazaruto Archipelago, where miles of magnificent-white sand and warm, turquoise waters await. It really is the island paradise escape you have been dreaming of.

Nestled on a one-kilometer stretch of untouched beachfront, the property features just 10 stylish villas, blending modern luxury with traditional African and Portuguese influences. Each villa is thoughtfully designed to offer privacy and spectacular ocean views, ensuring a tranquil haven just steps from the beach.

Azura Marlin Beach is a barefoot boutique retreat located on the idyllic Benguerra Island within the pristine Bazaruto Archipelago Marine National Park. Known for its powdery white sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and vibrant marine life, this island escape offers a combination of natural beauty and indulgent comfort. It has an elevated position on the dunes with fabulous sunset views across the ocean. Its island location means it’s close to the reefs and picnic spots to be found just off Benguerra Island for those who can leave the comfort of their daybed to enjoy the vast array of experiences on offer. It is the third property in Azura’s Mozambican portfolio, slightly more modern Mozambican in its styling with a relaxed, informal vibe.

The Beach Villas and Beach Villa Grandes at Azura Marlin Beach offer the quintessential island escape, perfectly designed for couples or small families. These villas feature direct beach access, private outdoor decks, and stunning ocean views. Enjoy the ultimate relaxation as your dedicated Mozambican butler-host serves meals on your private terrace and surprises you with the cocktail of the day at sunset. Thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort and privacy, these villas are the ideal choice for those seeking a serene and sophisticated beachside retreat. Each of the 10 villas overlooks the bay with uninterrupted Indian Ocean views. A haven of rest and relaxation, just steps from the magnificent white sand beach, with the warm sea beckoning just beyond.
