Classic Representation adds Azura Retreats to its portfolio

Azura Benguerra & Azura Quilalea

          

Imagine an unspoilt island within a Marine National Park, deserted beaches of pure white sand that extend for miles, sparkling turquoise seas crisscrossed by local dhows plying their trade, sunny days and star studded nights…and you have Azura Mozambique.

Just 16 villas are nestled along one of the last undiscovered stretches of beach in the world, with all the creature comforts you could wish for, sparkling private pools, Mozambican Butler-hosts to look after your every need, fish and seafood fresh from the ocean, a fantastic range of activities and experiences, an African spa to relax in, all at a community based project where the local islanders benefit as much as you.

Azura is paradise found.

New Pioneers Camp in Zimbabwe

Wild Frontiers Zimbabwe has announced that Pioneers Camp, a new luxury camp on the Zambezi River, is now open.
The camp is situated 17 kilometres from Victoria Falls inside the Upper Zambezi National park.

It has 1.5 kilometres of river frontage and currently hosts three tents.  A further three are expected to be completed by the end of this month.  The tents are en-suite with flush toilets and solar powered geysers and lighting.

The camp also hosts a central lounge and dining.

This new permanent tented camp is located inside the park, on a peacefully quiet stretch of shoreline with a natural spring-line through the site.  This water source attracts an abundance of wildlife throughout the year, making for fabulous game viewing opportunities right at the camp.

Activities include:

Game drives,

Boat cruises,

Canoeing,

Walking and fishing in the park.

The camp also offers a daily shuttle into town for activities.

Newest addition to Newmark Hotels, Coral Lodge in Mozambique

Coral Lodge in Mozambique is the newest addition to Newmark Hotels.  The lodge comprises 10 villas, each hosting informal sitting areas, a bedroom, bathroom and big terrace.  In two of the villas an extra bedroom is included for two children or an extra adult.  Five villas have direct ocean views, and the other five overlook the mangrove forest and Ilha de Moçambique.  Guest facilities include a lounge bar and restaurant, infinity pool and spa.

Coral Lodge is a modern, African-style beach resort, which offers you the latest in luxury and comfort while maintaining that authentic feel of Mozambican pureness.  The resort's design, by Dutch designer Edward van Vliet, incorporates the colors of its environment using wood and brightly-coloured textures.  These natural materials make the resort blend in perfectly with the surroundings.  We have made further use of the area's natural setting by building Coral Lodge's villas on top of the dunes.  This allows you to get full benefit of the incredible views and the constant breeze from the Indian Ocean.

A host of activities are available, including joining the chef on his daily visit to the local market and learning to cook authentic Mazambican dishes, exploring Varanda's mangrove forest by canoe or on foot, and fishing or sailing with the lodge's local dhow.  Other activities include snorkelling, windsurfing and whale watching between July and October.

We offer various packages ranging from a Romantic holiday to a Cultural & Historical experience.  Diving packages, relaxation packages and more...

Sandibe being on the East side has not yet received any flood water this year.
