Azura at Quilalea, on its own private paradise island in the stunning Quirimbas Archipelago, is considered to be one of the most luxurious retreats in Mozambique. With four Sunrise Kaskazi Villas and four Sunset Kusi Villas, and a totally separate Villa Quilalea, the lodge is intimate and isolated for a group of 18. Each of the villas is constructed using local materials, with natural coral stone walls, carved wooden beams, makuti thatch roofs, and timber wooden decks. The food is exceptional, making the most of the freshest ingredients and abundant seafood. Think snorkelling in the crystal-clear, warm Indian Ocean waters, kayaking along the shoreline, and diving to get up close to the colourful corals.

A 150 acre piece of land in South Bahamas has attracted some serious eyeballs and understandably so – 7 white-washed beaches, lavish accommodation and a staff of 30 catering to your every need. David Copperfield’s deluxe weekend gateway is well equipped to luxuriously reside 23 persons across the 5 accommodation options. Our personal favourite was the 10,000 sq ft villa perched on the top of the hill, offering awe-inspiring views of the horizon and beyond. The wonderful array of water activities indeed keeps you busy. Of course if you prefer to stay on land, opt for a relaxed game of tennis or an exclusive tour of the neighbouring islands. World class culinary connoisseurs curate customised menus as per your demand while you are probably roasting marshmallows over a beach bonfire.
