The Lodge

At Ibo Island Lodge we pride ourselves on offering a unique, authentic and luxury Mozambique island holiday. Located on the prime waterfront site of Ibo Island where romantic dhows sail out to sea, three historic and magnificent mansions, each over one hundred years old, have been lovingly restored to their former glory

Our 14 rooms are all air-conditioned and feature ceiling fans to keep things cool in the balmy tropical weather. Each room is individually designed and feature elegant pillars, meter thick coral and lime walls, lofty tall ceilings and solid teak beams.

The lodge is set amongst lush gardens planted with frangipani, bougainvillea and palm trees. Two swimming pools are the perfect place to escape the heat of the day whilst sipping on one of Kissinger’s legendary Mojito’s! Our Bela Vista lounge lives up to its name with mesmerizing views over the bay at high tide, and our private dining room features an enormous solid teak banqueting table, perfect for a private romantic dinner, or a group celebrating a birthday or anniversary in Mozambique.

The heart of Ibo Island Lodge is upstairs at the Bela Vista roof deck restaurant where guests sip sundowners and after dinner drinks under spectacular stars. Our restaurant faces west for unbelievable sunsets and our talented chefs are renowned and award nominated for their tasting menu and fresh seafood, usually accompanied by tropical orange sunsets and dreamy views over the bay.

Guest experiences at Ibo Island Lodge are some of the most varied in all of Mozambique. We are famous for our secret sand bank beach and our Quirimbas mobile island hopping safaris. The island is steeped in ancient architecture, history and culture, and our guided tours bring the fascinating legends alive. We also offer outstanding scuba diving and snorkelling, castaway beach picnics, guided sea kayaking, birding safaris, traditional dhow sailing, the mangrove forest experience, massage, romance and tranquillity.

Ibo Island Lodge is stylish yet simple and relaxed. We offer all the ingredients for a once in a lifetime Mozambique island holiday, and a perspective that will change your life forever.

This is my second time to Ibo and it is even more beautiful than I remember. The people are wonderful and the lodge is spectacular. I hope the development continues and it continues to benefit the community of Ibo. Thanks for being such great hosts
