The wholly uninhabited island paradise is surrounded by the crystal clear waters of the Quirimbas Archipelago marine sanctuary, a hidden gem. Quilalea Island has the only deep-water mooring in the area, where the Portuguese and Arab traders traditionally found sanctuary for their dhows. Along with its sister island Sencar, it is one of the few properties in the entire Archipelago to lie within a fully protected marine reserve, ensuring an abundance of marine life.
The main areas at Quilalea offer plenty of comfortable spaces to relax and unwind, with new additions being a clifftop pool, wine cellar and state of the art watersports centre. Cuisine at Quilalea is focused around the natural produce available locally, in line with the island’s ‘Green Ethos’. Lots of fresh fish and seafood dominate the menu, with dining a relaxed and laid back affair. Guests receive Azura’s trademark Mozambican Butler/Host service, where they try to make the dining experiences different through a range of unique and special venues and set-ups. The Spa on the headland offers Azura’s signature African treatments, or relax and be pampered in your own villa.
The 4 Kusi Villas have been beautifully revamped, with spacious bathrooms, natural furnishings and pure African elegance. They have the premium locations, with an additional outdoor shower and beach sala. The 4 Kaskazi villas are open-plan and spacious, with stylish décors of wood, cotton and materials such as rope, pebbles and rattan, all blending in seamlessly with the island surroundings and only a few steps from the gleaming white beach. All of the villas have a unique energy control system whereby guests can take control of their own eco-footprint. All mod cons are there if desired, including mini bar and air-conditioning. Villa Quilalea is perfect for honeymooners. The island can also be booked on an exclusive basis.
Activities included are Baobab Island walking trails, turtle sightings, stargazing and astronomy talks, unguided kayaking and house reef snorkelling. Azura offers a wide range of optional activities at an additional cost - beach picnics, Ibo Island tour, guided nature walks, snorkelling and kayaking, private beach dinners, ocean safaris, sunset dhow cruises, scuba diving, fishing and Quirimbas Island- coconut tree plantation tours.
