Cinco Portas

Top choice in Northern Mozambique


Ibo is an idyll wherever you stay, but Cinco Portas could well offer the best deal when you factor in price, friendly ambience and flawless, nothing-is-too-much-trouble service. Housed in a spruced-up old warehouse with a brilliant waterside setting, its small but comfortable rooms are complemented by lovely communal areas embellished with mahogany carvings and the best restaurant on the island.

All number of activities can be organised here, from historical walks to meals in local houses, and the helpful owners will move mountains to accommodate pretty much any request you make.
