Sundy Praia Principe Island
Sundy Praia is a luxury tented villa on the island of Principe. There are 15 spacious tents surrounded by tropical forest and guests have exclusive access to a private beach. Alongside Bom Bom Resort, it’s one of the best places to stay on Principe Island and was included in the National Geographic’s list of ‘Unique Lodges of the World’.
Staying under canvas immerses you in the tropics and you’ll awake to birdsong each morning. The tents feature wooden accents, air conditioning, and comfortable four-poster beds. Floor-to-ceiling windows open onto a private terrace with garden sofas, the perfect place for listening to the ocean at night.
The beautiful infinity pool, coupled with a complementary spa treatment on arrival, is a real highlight. Another highlight is the food. Sundy Praia’s innovative chefs create delicious dinners using locally-sourced produce, all served under an Indonesian bamboo canopy. Freshly-caught fish and organic vegetables from the gardens are a daily staple .
All rooms have 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 Roca Pacienca.
Couples searching for a romantic escape need look no further. The two and three-bedroom villas are ideal for families with older children. Instead of an inter-connecting door, you cross a few meters of private decking under the cover of a canvas canopy to get between the rooms. The three-bedroom tents have a private plunge pool.
