Description



CRAZY SPECIAL TO IBO ISLAND LODGE

Ibo Island Lodge is the perfect place to explore the Quirimbas Archipelago National Park in Northern Mozambique. Ibo Island’s magic is overwhelming. Steeped in history, rich in culture and nominated as a potential World Heritage Site, the island dates back to the early 1600’s, making it one of the most ancient settlements in Mozambique. Since its role as one of the country’s central trading centers, Ibo has remained all but forgotten to the outside world for almost a century. Today you can wander around the mysterious town amongst forts and ancient romantic buildings with many fascinating stories just waiting to be retold.



Ibo Island boasts much more than historical significance. This island is one of the most pristine destinations in Africa. The warm turquoise waters surrounding Ibo are inhabited by turtles and tropical fish; viewings of dolphins and whales are frequent whilst the bird life is abundant and varied. Here you will encounter idyllic beaches and explore rich coral reefs.  Guests can also take to the water to discover the Quirimbas National Park in sailing and motorized dhows or quietly paddle through the mangroves in kayaks.



The lodge has spectacular views over the waterfront and accommodates guests in beautifully decorated rooms.  Three historic colonial mansions with high ceilings have been stylishly renovated to accommodate 14 en-suite bedrooms with various verandas, tropical gardens and a spectacular roof top restaurant that provides the ideal venue to watch the sun go down.

 

On Ibo Island become immersed in the unchanged, ancient culture of Ibo and the chance to interact with wonderfully gentle islanders, or simply relax at one of the pools, refresh the senses with a massage and soak up the exotic atmosphere.

Ibo Island Lodge is situated on the Indian Ocean paradise of Ibo Island, just north of the small town of Pemba in the pristine Quirimbas Archipelago, Northern Mozambique.
Virtually unknown to the outside world and undisturbed for centuries Ibo is a place where time has stood still. Nominated for World Heritage status, Ibo boast three forts, and a beautiful old church standing guard over the sea. Boundless secrets of pirates, slaves and ivory are a part of this tiny palm-fringed coral island’s history. Ibo is untouched by commercial developments and is one of the most fascinating, idyllic islands you could dream of visiting.
Ibo Island has been described as one of the most romantic, chilled and atmospheric islands in Africa. Relax, beach, swim, snorkel, sail, kayak, explore or photograph. Become immersed in the unchanged, ancient culture of Ibo and the rare chance to interact with wonderfully hospitable islanders, or simply relax, refresh the senses and soak up the romantic atmosphere
Ibo Island Lodge is located on the prime waterfront site, where romantic dhows sail out to sea on each high tide. The lodge encompasses magnificent mansions each over one hundred years old with walls over a meter thick and lofty high ceilings.
All bedrooms are individually designed and unique, with many opening onto private verandas, decked with hand crafted furniture and soft cushions covered in vibrant local fabrics. The lodge is set in tropical gardens with 2 swimming pools and a roof terrace restaurant affords spectacular views over the ocean.
Flights to Pemba and the Lodge can be arranged.
