Encounter empty
stretches of beaches and explore some of the world's richest coral reefs.
Discover a coastline fringed by tropical islands on an ancient Arab Dhow -
still built to the same design as the vessels which a thousand years ago
sailed from India. Snack on cashew nuts and tropical fruit and dine on the
freshest of seafood of every description.
Ibo Island lodge encompasses three
magnificent mansions each over a century old with walls a meter thick and
high lofty ceilings. Located right on the prime waterfront site, where
romantic dhows sail out to sea on each high tide, the lodge offers
an informal island experience, and with just nine rooms assures guests of
exceptional service and flexibility.
The wide verandas
are furnished with hand carved furniture and soft cushions. All rooms are
air-conditioned and also have ceiling fans.
The lodge has two swimming pools set in tropical gardens, an
air-conditioned lounge and private dinning room as well as a roof terrace
restaurant with an open-air lounge area for after dinner drinks under the
stars.
Ibo Island Lodge is stylish, simple and unique.
Wining and dining
Meals feature freshly grow vegetables, herbs
and fruits and combine traditional specialities with seafood: giant tiger
prawns, game fish and Ibo's speciality: crab with fragrant soft, fluffy
coconut rice. Romantic dinners are served on the tranquil verandas or on
the rooftop terrace all with awesome views over the island.
