Meet the locals on this tiny island nation! Where else can you start up a conversation with a local farmer, greet children on their way to school, dance, or sit at the banco da má língua (the griping bench) and speak the truth?

Situated in the interior of the island is your first stop. Roça Sundy is composed of two perfectly restored plantation houses. The feeling that you are living in a bygone era follows you around and you’ll share this extraordinary experience with the local inhabitants who still live, work and go to school on this unique plantation, where Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity was proven. Activities here are all about the local culture and lush nature on this almost un explored island.

There are tons of activities on the island, but of course it is also the perfect destination to relax, unwind and get really away from it all.

However, if you do want some inspiration what to do:

Surrounded by tropical forest and with its own private beach, this Luxury Tented Lodge – one of National Geographic’s Unique Lodges of the World – is the perfect island hideaway.

There are 15 tented villas dotted amongst tropical almonds and banana trees. Stroll lazily just a couple of seconds and you’ll be on the private golden sandy beach.

Each tent is lined with wood pannels and air-conditioning. They are spacious, with four poster beds, and are decorated with local handicrafts and designer pieces.  Floor to ceiling sliding windows open up onto a private terrace with comfy sofas where you can listen to the ocean, and some tents also have magnificent views of the ocean.

You can also find a maxi bar which is replenished daily with local fruits and juices. In the beautifully designed en-suite bathrooms, the freestanding granite baths add a luxurious touch, and you’ll enjoy a range of locally produced toiletries like soaps, oils and creams, which are made at nearby Roҫa Paҫienca.

There are 3x per week flights from both Lisbon and Accra by (TAP Portugal or STP Airways)

The good news is that the vaccination process already started in São Tomé and Príncipe, the borders are open and Covid is under control. It is mandatory to show a negative PCR test issued 72 hours before arrival, and no quarantine is required. You will need to test again before leaving and the resorts will assist with all the details.
