Stay at Colina Verde

Colina Verde is located upon a stunning dune on the Machangulo Peninsula. This luxury African home provides a unique haven to escape from stress and a chance to explore a beautiful and secluded part of Africa. The house has seven bedrooms each with their own style and can sleep up to 18 people. Each has sunbeds and an outdoor deck with glorious views over the Indian Ocean. Guests can relax in a large oval heated swimming pool, sip coffee as the sun rises over the sea and dine alfresco while taking in the mesmerising views.

With 10,000 hectares to explore, the Machangulo Reserve offers everything from sparkling Indian Ocean beaches to coastal dune forests, mangroves and inland freshwater lakes. Hop on a boat for snorkelling in Inhaca island’s tidal bay for a wide variety of coral and fish, enjoy a decadent picnic of fresh produce in a secluded spot, speed down the dunes on custom-made sandboards or head out on fat bikes for an easy way to traverse the sand. Head out to discover local villages, or stay in to relax with yoga, a spectacular pool and a soak in the hot tub.

The Haughtons

We really loved our time at Azura Benguerra - the beach here was perfect. The tide came right up to the edge of our beach cabana each evening at sundowner time. Both the staff and food were great and we were really well looked after. There was just the right amount of things to do, including fly fishing from the beach or from SUP and snorkelling. Overall it was just an incredible experience and we absolutely loved it – a real once in a lifetime trip.
