This is such a belated review but one I just have to write. My visit was my third to Azura and yet again as before it was breathtaking and só special. I have honestly never experienced the level of care and service on such a personal basis anywhere else. The management and staff are just amazing. Thank you Amos, Birgitte, Olivia, and everyone whose name I maybe can’t remember… and George, wow thank you for the amazing food and taking care of my dietary requirements. Delso and Dinnis, all those beautifully set tables! I felt sunshine and care all round. Thank you for making every visit one I’d like to repeat. See you again soon!!!

My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at Azura . From the start of our weeks holiday we were made to feel very special, and at every opportunity the staff created a romantic and highly personalised experience. The Villas are positioned on the beach, each with a private pool, Chais Lounges and your own small reed hut right on the beach. Villas are spacious and well appointed, and whilst quite understated, are extremely comfortable with quality linen and pillows. Your butler is just a WhatsApp away and he was just amazing, looking after us from start to finish. Incredible service is what you experience 24hrs a day, from friendly and efficient management and staff. Food is also exceptional and every effort was made to serve us meals that suited our tastes and expectations. You are served your dinners in numerous locations, many times on the beach. Amazing. The all inclusive resort includes a decent selection of wines, cocktails and spirits. It would have been nice to have Champagne/Sparkling wine on the list of drinks available, although we were supplied with a number of complimentary bottles during our stay. Activities included wonderful snorkeling, deep sea fishing, diving etc, which were great and done very professionally, although all for an extra charge. The PeriPeri beach bar/club is opened twice in the week and is certainly a wonderful place to enjoy lunch and spend a lazy afternoon. Highly recommend this resort for couples wanting a romantic getaway in the most amazing location.…

From the moment you arrive you are surrounded by paradise, the entire team were absolutely fantastic. We were treated with the highest quality of service. We did the 2mile reef snorkel and the dhow cruise our guide Siftso (not quite sure on the spelling) and Alex were highly knowledgeable and passionate about the marine life. They made us feel safe in the water. Our host Agostinho, was truly the best. He took great care of us always with a smile and having a great sense of humor. He arranged a peri peri chicken on our last dinner that we were really wanting to try. That was the best chicken we have ever eaten. The food is delicious, the rooms are always kept spotless. It was an unforgettable honeymoon and we will definitely be back. Big thank you to Olivia and Ash for making our stay that much more special. …

Azura was an absolute spoil! We loved the location and accommodation! The food was good and staff looked after us 24/7. Our kids had a ball and enjoyed the freedom of the beach and activities. The Paradise Island day trip was a highlight and the dinners on the beach memorable! We will definitely be back for more!

My wife and I stayed at Azura for the last stop of our honeymoon after initially booking the resort next door where we were very disappointed with our experience. Luckily we were able to transfer to Azura after one night and the trip took a complete 180. The manager Brian greeted us upon arrival and made sure that our stay at Azura would be one to cherish and remember. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the food was excellent for every meal. Some of our favorite experiences were the Peri Peri Beach Club, snorkeling and the island tour. Our butler, Carlos, made the experience even more enjoyable with his attitude and willingness to do anything to our make time at Azura memorable. All of the staff at Azura is incredible, and I would highly recommend making the trip to Benguerra Island for Azura!…

We spent the most wonderful 4 days here with 4 young children and elderly grandparents and had such a special time. The setting is spectacular, the resort very safe so the kids could run around and really lovely food - especially the seafood. The service was exceptional- so friendly, genuine and prompt. The kids keep asking when we can go back as they loved it so much. The tours organized round the island and the dhow cruise were lovely too. Thank you!!

The experience surpassed expectations from the minute we landed on the island. We were assigned a butler to see to all our needs. The food is exceptional at every meal. The risk of putting on weight is high cause there is so much good food☺️. Drinks are on tap and offered all day. The beach club experience is very special, I dont want to spoil your surprise, u just need to experience it yourself. The rooms are tastefully decorated with views to die for. We stayed in the Infinity room which opens straight onto the he beach. The 22nd November, it was our 25th wedding anniversary and once again the staff outdid themselves. From the Pastor offered to preside over our vow renewal to the decoration setup by the beach for the private ceremony. Thank you so much to Olivia, Brian and Bernard our butler. Everything was on point. Regards Mary South Africa …
