Sea on Every Side
No room faces a wall or a car park. If we cannot give it water, we do not sell it as a room.

Since 2002
A house built around water and light
The Reyes family bought this point in 1974 and did nothing with it for twenty-eight years. That patience is the reason the dune is still intact.
When Azura finally opened, the architects had been given a single instruction: never let a guest lose sight of the sea. The result steps down the slope rather than over it — four low storeys, glass on the seaward face, and a colonnade that keeps every corridor shaded and open to the air.
We are still family-owned. Isabel Reyes, our general manager, grew up on this beach. Fourteen of our team have been here more than a decade, and it shows in the small things: the way your coffee arrives before you ask on the second morning, and the way the boathouse already knows which cove you liked.
What We Hold To
Four things we will not trade
These have not changed since the first season, through two refurbishments and one hurricane.
The Dune Stays
Nothing is built above the dune ridge. It cost us eleven rooms in the original plan and we would do it again.
People Who Stay
Average team tenure is nine years. We train from within and we pay above the market to keep it that way.
No Hidden Fees
One rate, one line. Breakfast, spa circuit, cabanas, Wi-Fi and valet are all in it.
Milestones
Half a century on this point
Manuel Reyes buys nine hectares of scrub and dune at the southern tip of the key. Three development proposals arrive over the next two decades. All three are turned down.
The original south wing and the colonnade open in November 2002, with twenty-eight rooms, one restaurant and a swimming pool that is still the lap pool today.
A resident marine biologist joins full-time. The reef shelf in front of the property is surveyed each quarter, and the turtle nesting corridor is closed to guests between May and October.
Fourteen suites, six pool villas and the 1,400 m² marine spa are added on the landward side, taking the property to its present forty-two keys.
Rooftop photovoltaics and a battery wall now carry the property's entire daytime load, including the spa's sea-water pumps.

Guest Stories
Words from our guests
An average of 4.9 out of 5 across 2,400 verified reviews. Here is a small selection.
We have stayed at resorts across three continents and nothing matched the calm of the ocean villa. The glass pavilion at sunrise is worth the flight on its own.
The team remembered our anniversary without being told twice. Breakfast on the terrace, a private cabana, and the most attentive service we have experienced.
Travelling with two children is rarely restful, but the family suite and the kids marine programme gave us an actual holiday. We rebooked before checking out.
The marine spa is exceptional — the salt-water flotation and the thalasso circuit left me better rested than a fortnight off. Faultless from arrival to departure.
