Azura at Quilalea Island

A wholly uninhabited island paradise surrounded by the pristine waters of the Quirimbas Archipelago marine sanctuary.

Your adventure begins in Pemba Mozambique as you board a helicopter to fly low over the dazzling ever-changing blues of the Indian Ocean to this remote tropical island escape. The best beachfront location for a luxury Mozambique Holiday Destination!

Quilalea Island is one of the southernmost islands in the untouched Quirimbas Archipelago, 30 nautical miles North of Pemba. It has one of the only safe deep-water moorings in the area, where the Portuguese and Arab traders traditionally found haven for their dhows. It is one of the few properties in the entire Archipelago to lie within a fully protected marine reserve, and wow –what an abundance of marine life!

Quilálea has been given a spectacular injection of contemporary decor and service excellence by the talented team from Azura with simply stunning results!
