Azura Mozambique suffered a fire yesterday morning, 1st December 2008.
 
An extensive veldt fire started night before last on Benguerra Island, a few km away from Azura.  As there has been no significant rain in the area for many months and the vegetation is very dry this quickly spread.  All fire fighting measures were taken, and it was believed to be brought under control. However the wind changed direction and picked up, and despite Azura's best fire fighting efforts the flames reached the hotel.  Although the full extent of the damage has not been confirmed, it has caused extensive damage to the roof structures at the retreat.  There were no casualties and all guests have been evacuated safely.  Fortunately the islander’s homes and the Azura School have not been affected.

Azura will be closed until further notice, and you should make alternative arrangements for guests booked into the property over the peak period of Christmas and New Year. An evaluation team is en route to the island, and an exact re-opening date will be issued as soon as possible. Azura is fully insured for the buildings, the contents and the interruption to business.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will provide you with an update of the situation by the end of the week at the latest.
