WHAT IT HAS

Azura Benguerra has 20 spacious villas overlooking the ocean with gorgeous island-style décor and every luxury, even a Nespresso machine and free wifi.

The bathroom shower has mosaic art and the outside showers are huge.

The villas have armchairs and desks, a private pool deck with daybeds and salsas on the beach.

The Jellyfish restaurant, with its beaded jellyfish lights, is open to the ocean, as is the Star Bar, and there is a comfortable lounge and library with a good range of books. Beaded fish and sharks hang above the reception rafters where barn owls nest.

HOW’S THE FOOD

Chef Meera Johannes is the head chef for all the Azura resorts and she conjures up creative and delicious meals every day.

The fresh prawns were , naturally, fantastic and another local dish I enjoyed was roasted white snapper with a coconut and ginger sauce. The desserts were irresistible.

RATES

Villas are from R4 700 per person sharing per night during low season until July 31, and from R5 700 in high season. Children stay for free in the luxury and infinity villas.
