Paradise found: Romance at Azura Retreats

As far as romantic getaways go, an idyllic retreat in a remote location is hard to match. The beauty of the wild, coupled with a sense of being on your own is the ideal way to spend some one-on-one time. A getaway to Azura Boutique Retreats in Mozambique or Tanzania goes beyond this though – the exceptional and personal service, special once-in-a-lifetime natural encounters and level of seclusion give it an x-factor that’s hard to find.



These three secluded properties offer pristine environments and astounding natural beauty, but also the ultimate in luxury – your itinerary will be tailored to you entirely, so that your trip for two is exactly what you want it to be, whether that’s a few days of total downtime in the sun and the spa, or it’s an adventure-filled trip of exploring your destination’s unspoilt natural wonders.
Azura Benguerra Island and Azura Quilalea Private Island in Mozambique are the ultimate in outdoor bliss. Equipped with everything from showers on the deck, to private swimming pools, and villas only moments from the beach, they’re private sanctuaries perfectly conducive to romance. A Robinson Crusoe barefoot escape, but with a lot of luxurious touches for good measure.



Your personal host – a Azura tradition – will see that your every desire is catered to, from special dining experiences like breakfast at the water's edge, to romantic dinners on a candle-lit beach, full-service night picnics, or dressing up for dinner and wine from the Loire valley. The sensory overload continues into the day with African-inspired treatments at the spa, and exploring your idyllic surrounds – visit coconut plantations, or sail on a dhow during sunset. For the more adventurous couples, helicopter flips, horseriding and scuba diving are just some of the exciting excursions you can do together. While those more leisure inclined can stargaze on the beach or just luxuriate in the comfort and privacy of their beachfront villas.



Azura Selous Game Reserve offers a whole different kind of romance, that of the African bushveld – which comes with dramatic settings and sunsets, and even more dramatic stars. Enjoy the magical surroundings from your own villa – have a dip in the private pool at night while gazing at the sky. Or immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of this special and remote place with drinks around the fire, or lantern-lit dinners on the riverbank. Your personal host will make sure your stay is as memorable and perfect as possible with special dinners set up on the riverbanks, in the bush, or on your deck. Spa treatments are another must after an early-morning game drive or before sundowners – you can also opt to stay in the comfort of your air-conditioned tented villa and the therapist will come to you.


 
Guests will also be pleased to know that when staying at any Azura property, they invest in the community through Azura'sRainbow Fund – the first registered charity of its kind in Mozambique. It supports a variety of social and environmental projects, large and small, from the building of a new school, to environmental protection initiatives

Fishing on the North Coast, KwaZulu-Natal The North Coast of KwaZulu-Natal must be one of the best recreational fishing coastlines in the world. From Kosi Bay in the north to Durban in the south the opportunities for the avid angler are numerous and varied. In the northern region the waters are warmer and the sheer variety of large predator fish make for some exciting fishing that cannot be matched anywhere else in South Africa. Here you can expect to catch king mackerel, sharks, kingfish and queenfish as well as rays, skates and sandsharks. From Richards Bay down to Durban, these large game fish are scarce and kob, shad (elf) and Natal stumpnose are more common. In late winter and spring Garrick (leervis) are quite prolific. Other common fish on the North Coast are spotted grunter, rock cod, kob and pompano. Light tackle fishermen can look forward to catching blacktail, banded galjoen, bigeye stumpnose, snapper kob, large-spot pompano, javelin grunter and many other...
