Here, you will check in to your luxurious Beach Villa, offering honeymooners absolute privacy with a private plunge pool and deck overlooking the pristine shore. Your time at Azura Benguerra can be spent soaking up the very best of island life, from marine safaris and scuba or snorkeling expeditions to horseback riding and a traditional dhow cruise at sunset. If you’re traveling between July and October, you might be lucky enough to spot the surrounding waters come alive with humpback whales as they migrate to warmer waters.
Located within a protected marine national park on Azura Benguerra Island, this eco-friendly resort features only 20 villas ensuring utmost privacy for guests. Each villa is decked out with a private infinity pool. The lodge features a wine cellar, cosy bar and lounge area and a wellness spa.
Your island honeymoon can be as laid back or active as you see fit. Try your hand at sea kayaking, snorkelling, scuba diving and big game fishing or enjoy horseback riding, private picnics and bird watching back on land. A highlight of your time on the island will be a traditional dhow cruise at sunset.
Day fourteen marks the final day of your South Africa and Mozambique Honeymoon. After breakfast, you will return to Vilanculos by helicopter and connect with your onward flight home.
