Azura Marlin Beach
Azura Marlin Beach has a gorgeous secluded setting, perched above a bright white sandy beach on the southwestern side of Benguerra Island. The island is part of the Bazaruto Archipelago, and 15 minutes by helicopter from Vilanculos in the Bazaruto National Park in Mozambique. Children of all ages are welcome at Azura Marlin Beach

The two Beach Villa Grande have more space and can take two children. The exclusive Villa Vista has two en-suite bedrooms and accommodates up to four adults and two children. It has its own dining room, lounge and bar, and a private pool on a large deck. The lodge itself has a large main building with spaces for meals inside and out, a bar, pool, a chill out zone with four-poster daybeds, and a lovely spa.
