About Sofitel Malabo Sipopo Le Golf
.jpg){kind=link}
Sofitel Malabo Sipopo Le Golf is an 18-hole, par 72 course on Bioko Island in Equatorial Guinea, set by the ocean at Zona Sipopo near Malabo. Tropical jungle and native ceiba trees line the fairways, and on clear days Mount Cameroon is visible across the water. Thierry Sprecher designed the layout, and it is attached to the Sofitel resort, so it works as a golf stop built into a hotel stay.
