The independent, UK: "Mozambique is now at peace, but it is taking some time for most travellers to consider the formerly war-wracked African republic as a serious destination. A step in the right direction is the Ibo Island Lodge, which has just opened in northern Mozambique, 45 miles from Pemba, an unspoilt area of exquisite, surreal beauty. Ibo Island, part of a coral archipelago of 32 islands, was once an important Portuguese trading post, and contains the scattered ruins of abandoned villages and 18th-century forts. The 12-room lodge consists of three waterfront mansions, restored in colonial style - all antique furniture and heavy wooden shutters."
Australian Financial Review :
"Ibo is one of those places that you never want to leave, thanks to a certain addictive idyllic tranquillity that slows you right down. And the more you wander around the town, taking in its elegantly weathered beauty, the more addictive it becomes."
