Azura at Quilalea Island

Azura Quilalea is located on Quilalea Island, in the Quirimbas Archipelago, a sprinkling of tiny jewel-like islands off the coast of northern Mozambique, just south of the Tanzanian border. A mere twenty-minute helicopter transfer from the main city port, Pemba Mozambique – encircled by a marine sanctuary, this Eco-Boutique retreat offers an exclusivity rarely found and allows guests to effortlessly escape the stresses of everyday life.

Surrounded by the sparkling, azure waters of the warm Indian Ocean, Azura at Quilálea is the ideal honeymoon destination for those in search of the perfect romantic island getaway, or the ultimate holiday for those in need of relaxation, adventure and rediscovery.

Azura Retreats Quilalea is designed with its own particular ethos in mind, creating unique vibes and experiences out of which guests will find their own favourite haven.

Each villa is assigned a Butler- host. They’ll take care of you during your stay, including serving your meals, running down the beach with a table and chairs if you want lunch at the water’s edge, or serving cocktails to your beachside Sala as the sun goes down.

Quilalea Island is lush and green with deserted beaches and vibrant coral reefs. Stroll off of the main beach into the warm ocean, and you’ll find yourself swimming amongst the tropical fish and unbleached corals of the house reef. Or wander across the island past thousand-year-old baobab trees to Turtle Beach, a remote stretch of sand where turtles often nest.
Azura at Quilalea Private Island is a wonderful place for a family holiday. Snorkelling, fishing and scuba diving are all fabulous activities for children to undertake. A Mozambique Family Holiday to Azura couldn’t get any better.
