IBO ISLAND
Quirimbas Archipelago, Mozambique |
|
Ibo Island lies in the Quirimbas Archipelago of northern
Mozambique. Nominated for World Heritage status Ibo has been
described as one of the most unique and atmospheric islands
in the world. Ibo Island Lodge was built by the community,
pioneering tourism development on Ibo. Today either directly
or indirectly, the lodge benefits a large part of Ibo's
population. Here your visit really does make a difference. |
|
Located on the prime waterfront site where romantic dhows
sail out to sea on each high tide Ibo Island lodge
encompasses magnificent mansions (Niassa, Ndorwe, Mweezi,
Kixewa, Luwa, Juwa, Tataruga, Makonde, Brubuletta and
Ngalawa) each over one hundred years old with coral and lime
walls over a meter thick, high lofty ceilings and original
beams. Ibo Island Lodge has been designed to incorporate the
architecture and style of the original ruins. |
|
The lodge accommodates 18 guests in beautifully elegant, yet
simple rooms, with indigenous solid teak and mahogany
furniture handcrafted by the people of Ibo. All nine
bedrooms are individual and feature a king size four-poster,
or twin hand crafted beds with crisp cotton linen and Indian
silk throws. Bathrooms are all ensuite with twin basins and
large marble showers and hot and cold water. Wide verandas
are a traditional feature of all Ibo mansions, with
comfortable plantation style chairs and soft cushions from
where you can enjoy drinks and make the very most of the sea
and garden views. |
|
Ibo offers pristine beach excursions, snorkelling, sea
kayaking, dhow sailing, birding, mangrove forests, sumptuous
seafood, romance, simplicity, tranquillity and a perspective
that will change your life forever. |
