About Miti Miwiri

A charming small guest house in the heart of Mozambique’s Ibo Island
Ibo Island is part of the chain of scattered Indian Ocean islands making up the breath-taking Quirimbas Archipelago off the coast of mainland Mozambique. The island’s rich and fascinating history stretches back over the centuries, and the old town has a romantic air of faded grandeur from the Portuguese colonial era. Miti Miwiri is one of Ibo’s original residences, and the once-crumbling ruins have been beautifully restored into a charming small guest house that offers comfortable accommodation and warm Mozambican hospitality in the heart of the town. This is a great base for exploring the intriguing island and its stunning coastline.

Property details

The property

The guest house lies along a quiet street in the heart of town. Steps lead up to the veranda and into the cool interior, which has a wonderful contemporary feel in contrast to the faded colonial exterior. The main hall leads through to a sheltered terrace and a beautiful courtyard garden, with a restaurant and bar along one side, and a comfortable lounge on the other. At night, the garden and swimming pool take on a romantic, magical feel under the soft glow of flickering lanterns.

The rooms

Miti Miwiri has nine en-suite guest rooms which, depending on the layout, can accommodate two, three or four people. The rooms have a delightfully simple African feel, with chunky timber furniture, colourful fabrics, crisp mosquito nets, and ceiling fans to keep the fierce tropical heat at bay. Each room has a private balcony, with lovely views over the courtyard garden and swimming pool, or to the quiet streets of Ibo Island town in front.

Activities

Ibo Island has much to offer in the way of historic monuments, beautiful architecture, and magnificent beaches – guided bicycle tours are a great way to take in all the sights and meet the super friendly locals going about their daily lives. Snorkelling conditions are superb, and scuba diving can be arranged, together with kayaking and birdwatching along the mangrove channels. A romantic sunset cruise on a traditional Arab dhow is a wonderful way to round off the day.
