Azura Quilalea

Overview

The ultimate private luxury hideaway is the younger sister of the award-winning Azura Benguerra.

There are just nine beach-front villas all designed and decorated in the same Afro-chic style; cool and cosmopolitan in a singular island setting. Some are perfect for sunrise, others face the dramatic sunsets, but all have private decks and butler service. Guests also have a plethora of land and water-based activities to choose from.
