Azura Quilalea Private Island

Azura Quilalea is a hidden gem, somewhere to retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life, with a relaxed and understated ‘Robinson Crusoe’ castaway style that belies the comforts and experiences on offer in the 9 seafront villas.

Azura Quilalea is the second luxury Indian Ocean Retreat from the Azura Retreats group, the privately owned and managed hotels from Christopher and Stella Bettany, It is bringing Azura’s trademark African-chic style to Quilalea Private Island, a private, wholly uninhabited island paradise surrounded by the pristine waters of the Quirimbas Archipelago marine sanctuary.

Snorkel the island’s shores, dive from the main beach, kayak the mangroves or relax in a hammock beneath the giant baobabs on the island. Quilalea is the ultimate private luxury hideaway in a stunning undiscovered destination, an untouched paradise for the just a discerning few to discover.

Reasons to stay at Azura Quilelea Lodge? 

The Azura team is here to welcome you, and go out of their way to make your stay at Azura Quilalea special.

Our core philosophy is that every day should be different, and we should wow you in some way during your stay with us. We are very proud of our guestbook, which is full of comments from happy guests, many of whom return to stay with us time and again.

We have a young and enthusiastic team at Azura. In line with our community focus, many are previously unskilled Mozambicans who we have trained into their roles, supplemented by a management team with experience at some of Southern Africa’s top hotels.

The whole team at Azura makes looking after you their priority. The chefs will chat about your favourite foods, the watersports specialists will take you out exploring our amazing marine world and the spa therapist will help you relax, even more than you already are in this barefoot paradise.
