Azura is not easy to get to: it is a two-hour flight from Johannesburg , followed by a breathtaking helicopter swoop over the myriad hues of the Indian Ocean , but it is worth the effort. Although the lodge itself is a honeymooners’ idyll, the real draw is the pristine beauty of the island itself. The retreat was created in 2007 by British couple Christopher and Stella Bettany , who saw their opportunity when Gabriel Cossa , a Mozambician who ran a backpackers’ resort on the site, was told to upgrade or move out.

Chole Mjini ’s tree houses seem to meld into the canopy of the ancient baobab trees that provide them with shelter. Crafted from wood, ropes, and reeds, the rustic hideaways are open on three sides and are set amid verdant jungle, wild orchards, mangrove forests, and age-old Hindu ruins slowly being strangled by the roots of fig trees. The area teems with wildlife, and guests can see fruit bats dangling upside down in the tree branches that surrounded their rooms, as well as monkeys and a variety of exotic birdlife.
