Located on the prime waterfront site where romantic dhows sail out to sea on each high tide, Ibo Island lodge encompasses magnificent mansions each over one hundred years old. The three historic mansions have been stylishly renovated, but hold true to the original coral and lime walls over a meter thick, high lofty ceilings and original beams. Ibo Island is a potential World Heritage Site, and therefore rooms have been designed to incorporate the architecture and style of the original ruins. The lodge accommodates guests in beautifully elegant, yet simple rooms, with indigenous solid teak and mahogany furniture, handcrafted by the people of Ibo.

Cuisine features the freshest of seafood as well as traditional Ibo specialities serces on the roof terrace facing west towards unforgettable Sunsets. An open-air lounging area on the terrace is also perfect for after dinner drinks under Mozambique's spectacular skies. Ibo Island has been described as one of the most romantic and relaxed islands in the world, but by combining pristine beach and marine activities with authentic Mozambique culture and historical experiences and you have a unique Mozambican island holiday that enables you to be as active or as relaxed as you wish.

One of the most beautiful and unspoilt beaches in the Quirimbas Archipelago is closely accessed from Ibo island, and one of Ibo's best kept secrets. A short motorised boat trip or a longer sailing dhow trip takes you to a perfect sandbank beach surrounded by sea and usually totally private with just the odd local dhow sailing past. Here we set up shade and drinks and you are free to enjoy the clear waters perfect for swimming, snorkeling, exploring and relaxing. There is a transfer to this beach each day included in the Ibo Island lodge rate. The time of the transfer is dependent on tides and the weather. Snorkelling off the sandbank is great. All snorkelling gear is provided, however you are also welcome to bring your own. Dolphins and turtles are regularly spotted from the boat.
Ibo Island Lodge offers Ibo as a personal discovery for everyone who visits and the chance to interact with the friendly people of Ibo and really understand their unique Mozambique culture.
