Ibo Island Lodge encompasses three magnificent mansions each over one hundred years old and located right on the prime waterfront site, where romantic dhows sail out to sea on each high tide. Each of the fourteen rooms are individually designed, en-suite, large, air conditioned, and boast antiques and handcrafted furniture, with magnificent wooden doors and shutters that evoke the original design.
Activities enable guests to immerse themselves in the unchanged, ancient culture of Ibo and the rare chance to interact with the wonderfully hospitable islanders.
Meals at the Ibo Island Lodge feature freshly Ibo-grow organic vegetables, fruits and produce combining traditional specialties with seafood: giant tiger prawns, game fish and Ibo's specialty: crab with fragrant coconut rice. Romantic dinners served on the wide tranquil verandas or on the roof terrace restaurant both with awesome views over the sea.
