Indigo Bay Lodge Airport — Bazaruto Island, Mozambique

IBL is Indigo Bay Lodge Airport, a small airstrip serving the exclusive Indigo Bay resort on Bazaruto Island, part of the Bazaruto Archipelago off the coast of Mozambique. This airport exists almost entirely to support high-end tourism, ferrying guests directly to luxury lodges without requiring boat transfers from the mainland. The Bazaruto Archipelago is renowned for its pristine beaches, dune landscapes, and marine biodiversity, including dugong populations and coral reefs protected within a national park. IBL typically handles small charter aircraft rather than scheduled commercial service, reflecting its role as a private gateway for resort guests. Given the archipelago's protected status and remote island setting, air access through IBL is often the most practical way to reach Bazaruto's high-end accommodations.
