TRAVEL PACKAGE OVERVIEW
Seven Nights at Rio Azul
Rio Azul is for travelers who want to experience the Mozambique coast beyond a conventional resort. The lodge stands where the Govuro River estuary meets the Indian Ocean, approximately 110 kilometres north of Vilanculos Airport near Inhassoro.
This international package gives couples seven nights in a beachfront chalet, with regional flights from Johannesburg and the onward road transfer included. International flights to Johannesburg remain separate, allowing the itinerary to be adapted to each traveler’s country of departure.

A Longer Mainland Alternative to an Island Resort
Seven nights give guests time to boat, kayak, fish and add an optional offshore excursion while retaining several days without a fixed programme. Rio Azul offers a remote coastal experience without requiring an island boat or helicopter transfer, while optional boating can still provide access to reefs, beaches and islands when conditions permit.


Beachfront Chalet Accommodation for Couples
The package correctly uses one of Rio Azul’s six beachfront chalets for two adults sharing. Each can be configured with a double or twin beds and has an en-suite bathroom, private patio and water views.
Chalet guests use the swimming pool and shared areas at the main lodge. They do not have private plunge pools; these belong to Rio Azul’s two three-bedroom villas, which are designed for families and groups.
The Govuro Estuary at Your Own Pace
A motorized aluminium boat is allocated to the chalet for estuary use, subject to lodge instructions, local operating rules and weather conditions. Guests can use it for gentle exploration or estuary fishing, while sea kayaks offer a quieter way to experience the mangroves and tidal channels.
Fuel is excluded unless stated in the final quotation. The boat is not an unlimited private charter or an included offshore fishing vessel. Deep-sea fishing, specialist guiding, tackle and island excursions are additional.


Johannesburg, Vilanculos and Rio Azul
The international package begins and ends in Johannesburg, using return regional flights between Johannesburg and Vilanculos. Travelers arriving from elsewhere connect through Johannesburg, with long-haul flights quoted separately.
Rio Azul is approximately 110 kilometres north of Vilanculos Airport. The road transfer normally takes around two hours, depending on road and traffic conditions. Mozambique Travel will check the complete routing before accommodation is confirmed.
Who This Rio Azul Holiday Suits
Rio Azul suits couples, anniversary travelers and nature-focused guests who value privacy, outdoor experiences and an informal lodge atmosphere. Days can be divided between estuary boating, beach walks, kayaking, fishing, reading and optional ocean excursions.
It is less suitable for travelers wanting several restaurants, nightlife, a large spa, organized entertainment or immediate access to Vilanculos town.
Your Rio Azul International Package Price
This is a dynamic international package priced per person sharing. The final quote depends on the confirmed Stay 7, Pay 6 offer, travel dates, chalet availability, Johannesburg–Vilanculos airfare, transfer arrangements and drinks basis.
