Ibo Island in the Quirimbas Archipelago Mozambique , is virtually unknown to the outside world and has remained undisturbed for centuries. Nominated for World Heritage Status, Ibo Island is beautiful, remote and untouched by commercial developments and one of the most intriguing, idyllic and romantic Indian Ocean islands you could dream of visiting for a holiday, vacation or honeymoon of a lifetime.

Encounter vast stretches of idyllic 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.

Guests partake in a multitude of experiences: dive, sail, swim or fish. 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 offers all the ingredients of paradise and a journey to an era quite forgotten.  

During the last 500 years Ibo has been one of the major trade islands along the coast of East Africa. Its long history is everywhere to be seen. The ruins of once grand colonial buildings and a beautiful old catholic church still line its streets and three forts still stand guard over the sea, their rusted cannons and crumbling ramparts all that remain of their once great power.

Ibo island was formerly the capital of Cabo Delgado the northern province. Ibo's architecture and history rank closely to Ilha de Mozambique but its atmosphere and rustic charm is certainly unique. It is one of the most ancient settlements in Mozambique with Muslim traders actively established in the area before the 15th century. Traditional silversmiths make beautiful handmade jewelry found nowhere else in the world.
