Quirimbas Archipelago

Among the finest Mozambique hotels, Anantara Medjumbe Island Resort is located on Medjumbe, is a small private island which is part of the protected Quirimbas Archipelago that stretches along Mozambique’s northern coastline. Here, the horizon is an endless swirl of white sands, turquoise lagoon and Indian Ocean blue. And with only 12 beach villas dotting our island, cast away in luxury Robinson Crusoe style.

Set sail in search of whales and dolphins. Dive in some of the world’s best reefs. Laze on deserted stretches of beach as sea turtles come to shore to lay their eggs.

Welcome to an award-winning lodge on a tiny island in the middle of Mozambique nowhere. Luxury Ibo Island Lodge has been described as one of the most magical and atmospheric lodges in Africa. Situated in the Quirimbas National Park of northern Mozambique imagine a remote Mozambican island lost in time, all but forgotten to the outside world for nearly a century.

Recline high on our rooftop terrace overlooking the impossibly blue ocean and track the slow and steady traditional sailing dhows that drift across the blue horizon.

Refresh your senses with a massage and indulge yourself with a frosty cocktail at one of the pools. This is the Ibo Island Lodge life, designed to uplift and your escape from your reality.

Be whisked to an idyllic sandbank beach and dive some of Africa’s richest coral reefs. Discover a coastline fringed by tropical islands on a unique island-hopping dhow safari.

Add dolphin safaris, snorkeling, sea kayaking, birding, sumptuous seafood, romance, tranquility and a perspective that will change your life forever.

Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, Ibo Island Lodge was built with the community, and today either directly or indirectly benefits a large portion of Ibo’s population. Witness and interact with a lifestyle that hasn’t changed for hundreds of years.
