Ibo Island Lodge isn't a beach resort but rather a fully restored colonial manor in a historic hamlet. The small 14-room lodge is stylishly decorated. The guestrooms are spacious and clean. The food is excellent. The veranda and tropical gardens are great places to relax. Family Travel Tips: Ibo Island Lodge isn't on a swimming beach. The guided historical walking tours are excellent. Dhow trips to a nearby sandbar are tide and wind permitting. The swimming pools are too small for a real swim. The lodge welcomes children under 12, subject to the availability of a family room.
