Top 6 reasons to visit Sao Tome and Principe

Travel Guide by Archipelago Choice

Like you, we love getting out and doing things while we’re on holiday which is one of the reasons why we fell so in love with Sao Tome and Principe.

These tiny tropical islands of Sao Tome and Principe are found on the equator, in the Gulf of Guinea.  Despite their small size – jointly covering 1001 sq km, around three quarters the size of Greater London – the islands pack a big punch in terms of the variety of activities you can enjoy while staying in comfortable accommodation ranging from luxury tented Eco villas to colonial plantation houses and beachfront bungalows.

Here are a handful of our top reasons to visit Sao Tome and Principe:

Sao Tome and Principe Hoildays - Club Santana

…Discover shoals of colourful fish as you snorkel just off the gorgeous sandy, palm tree lined beach in front of your hotel

…Kayak to empty beaches and make the only footsteps of the day in the golden sand

…Soap up in an outside shower over-looking the rainforest

…Be woken in the middle of the night to see turtles laying eggs on the beach under a sky lit with stars

Sao Tome and Principe Holidays - Green Turtles Praia Inhame

…Canoe silently through a remote mangrove and see monkeys in the trees high above you

And last but nowhere near least…
