There are few hotel rooms: two hotels with 9 seats each (Cinco Portas and Miti Miwiri), a super luxury hotel establishment (Ibo Lodge) and a very high profile guest house (Baibo). In addition, there are several local alternatives, with a lower price, among which is a camp site called Karibuni that has space to camp if you have a tent and that also has a couple of bungalows. The island is located in the archipelago of Las Quirimbas, tourist gem and unexploited (at the moment) of the country. Options: diving, snorkeling, excursions to other islands, white sand beaches ...
