Praia Sundy

Beach and Island Escapes
Sao Tome and Principe

It is the only lodge of its kind on the island and is the perfect place to experience both beach and rainforest.

Why we like Praia Sundy

This beautiful property manages to balance modern design and wonderful food with an immersive natural setting that perfectly encapsulates what Principe has to offer.

Facilities

Immersed in the surrounding forest, the 15 tented villas are distinctive in their weathered-wooden design – inspired by the fishermen’s huts that once lined this stretch of beach. Above these walls is an elegant tented roof that extends outwards, covering the beautiful wooden veranda. Inside, the tented villas are decorated with rich woods that contrast against the white of the canvas and are wonderfully spacious. They all have en suite bathrooms and air conditioning.

Activities

With the lodge positioned between verdant rainforest and tropical seas, it is ideally located for exploring both land and sea. A welcome massage is included as standard, whilst kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and snorkelling equipment are free to use.

All other activities can be arranged through the lodge. These include:

Guided island and ocean tours
Plantation visits
Whale and turtle watching
Guided biosphere trails
Boat trips
Unguided walking trails
Scuba diving
Bird watching
Big game fishing
Community visits.

Where to stay

Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.

Praia Sundy £££££

Sao Tome and Principe
Beach and Island Escapes

This beautiful collection of tented villas sits where Principe’s dense rainforests meet the tropical beaches of the Atlantic Ocean. Hidden beneath almond and banana trees, Praia Sundy looks out over warm waters, alive with marine life. It is the only lodge of its kind on the island and is the perfect place to experience both beach and rainforest.

Roca Sundy £££££

Sao Tome and Principe
Boutique

Formerly a colonial farm, Roca Sundy has been lovingly restored as a boutique hotel. It is made up of two Portuguese-style buildings – Colonial House and Plantation house – with the 12 rooms split evenly between the two. These sit within the grounds of the former plantation, which itself perches on a hillside, high above the island’s coast.
