Sipopo

Sipopo is a purpose-built resort and conference complex east of Malabo, developed with oil wealth to host international summits and high-profile events on Bioko Island. Its landscaped grounds include luxury hotels, villas, a golf course and a beach along the Gulf of Guinea. Constructed rapidly to project a modern image of Equatorial Guinea, it stands in sharp contrast to the older colonial capital nearby. It represents the ambitions of the country's resource era.
