About Ilha do Fogo Scuba Retreat
ILHA DO FOGO, translated in Portuguese to Fire Island, is a unique and exclusive island, with an unimaginable wonder of biodiversity. A series of unexplored and proliferous coral reefs around the island remain entirely unaffected by bleaching or climate change, offering an unparalleled SCUBA experience to qualified divers.
The island is a nesting site for endangered green and critically endangered hawksbill turtles, and guests may have the opportunity to experience this marvel first-hand during their stay. SCUBA adventures offer the mystery of many possible marine encounters, with whales, rays, and sharks, and the guaranteed beauty of the kilometres-long coral-rich reefs.
Travelling to the island is a life-changing experience in itself, either via the rugged, remote roads lined with traditional grass roof shelters. Observe a unique culture, unchanged for centuries, with Mozambicans working the paddy fields or resting in the shade weaving, sorting grains or pounding maize meal. The other option is via private charter aircraft, flying directly to the island's private airstrip.
Comfortably en-suite tented accommodation (glamping) for SCUBA divers is available on Ilha do Fogo for all-inclusive retreats.

En-suite Tented Chalet
Comfortably en-suite tented accommodation for SCUBA divers is available on Ilha do Fogo. Eco-friendly and sustainable timber structures have been developed for the social area and dive centre.
We have kept the locations of the accommodation within the natural clearings of the tree-lined thicket, thus ensuring that the existing forest, flora and fauna are safeguarded, and that Ilha do Fogo’s natural topography is preserved. Ground vegetation is protected through use of ‘floating’ foundations.
The best thing about this ‘glamping’ type of stay, is that you are truly immersed in nature. Guests have all the modern conveniences of electricity, running water, furniture, and plush bedding, while deepening their engagement with the surrounding environment.
