Hotels [edit]

All hotels are quite expensive. Island shows the specificity of African tourism, - everything is expensive here for tourists, despite the fact that the locals live in poverty.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Sao Tome International Airport (TMS). Then take a taxi. There is also public transport in the island, but the bus routes are not convenient for tourists in most cases.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in Sao Tome and Principe is a dry season from June to September. Unfortunately, sea water is relatively cold during this period.
