Island Overview

Príncipe Island is part of São Tomé and Príncipe. The island is mainly covered by the forested Obo National Park. An early drive to Santo Antonío offers views of Pico Papagaio. The island is unaffected by political and religious instability.

“The hotel stands out for its commitment to conservation efforts alongside offering a relaxing retreat. Its unique museum and access to pristine marine life offer more than just a stay. While some aspects need attention, its personalized excursions and eco-conscious ethos create a memorable experience; it's a great base for exploring Santo Antonio's natural beauty.”
