Day 1 2,3,4 Azura Benguerra Island 

As we, as a community, become more conscious of the need to embrace an ecologically-appropriate lifestyle, the added appeal in extending this practice to our vacation destinations becomes more obviously apparent to us.

And the Azura Benguerra Lodge is one such destination ― a boutique eco-lodge in Mozambique's lovely Bazaruto Archipelago, and that country's first luxury, eco-appropriate boutique retreat. The Azura Benguerra Lodge offers an unspoiled island within a National Park, deserted beaches of pure white sand, sparkling turquoise seas, swaying palms, sunny days and star-studded nights.

The Lodge's beach villas are furnished in contemporary style and look out over a stunning five metre infinity pool towards the beach and the crystal-clear sea beyond. They have the best of our beachfront locations, and include 110m2 under roofing, and a 650m2 private area. 

Built and operated in partnership with the local community, the Lodge has just 14 villas, each with its own smaller infinity pool, and designed for the ultimate in comfort, pampering and privacy. With unsurpassed levels of cuisine and service, a vast range of activities and experiences, and a uniquely African spa, in the Azura Benguerra Lodge you have the perfect island getaway, far from the madding crowd that surrounds us in our daily lives.

Day 5,6,7,8 Luxury Yacht Charter – Bazaruto Archipelago

You’re not surprised (because things like this do happen in dreams, after all) when one morning you meet some people on the beach who invite you to join them in an adventure. You roll up your trousers and wade through knee-deep surf to an inflatable dinghy which ferries you out into deeper waters.

And there it is, bobbing gently on the peaceful deep beyond the breakers, the majestic 75ft Ocean Catamaran, sails furled, awaiting its complement of 6 lucky guests, one of them you, embarking on your journey to bliss.

Settled in the yacht’s bright and airy saloon, a stylish  and summery perch above the cockpit, watching the experienced, efficient crew winding up the anchor and setting sail for four days of island-hopping around the archipelago, equipped for deep sea fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling, visiting passing islands in the motorised tender, exploring ruins from Mozambique’s colonial past, buying fresh fruit at village markets, navigating mangrove swamps in kayaks, or just lying tanning in the sun, or dozing off under the stars to the rhythmic slap of wavelets along the hull — experiencing the very embodiment of the success you have sought all your life, but experiencing it, too, as the culmination of the dreamy days and nights that have gone before, days and nights that have brought ultimate relaxation to your body, peace and fulfilment to your mind, and that have recharged your physical and psychic  batteries with a charge that will endure until the next time freedom beckons….

….and you obey.
