Let us tell you about this tiny paradise island… READ MORE BELOW.
We know you are thinking Maldives, Polynesia, Caribbean and other island-A-listers.
Well no.
Principe is on the Atlantic Ocean, so small you often don’t have it mentioned on maps - something we are happy about.
Those who are curious - and value - visiting a place barely touched by tourists, with virgin beaches, a stunning warm blue sea (not to mention the year-long summer temperature), lush and colourful vegetation and some exquisite places to stay, this island IS for you.
So many things are worth here: the lack of infrastructure in places where it’s not needed (and have you trail down tropical paths to reach some beaches), the wildlife, the size of plants and flowers, the giant turtles you get to see lay hundreds of eggs in the sand, in the middle of the night (SO INCREDIBLE), the old farms that now produce chocolate…
Go on excursions around the island to stop in villages, schools and beaches so that you can interact with local people, everyone being so friendly, joyful and welcoming. Plus everything is wearing pastel colours around: the houses, peoples clothes, the bikes, the food stands, the markets, the flowers and the birds!
The island is deliciously small and worth a week long visit - and you should sleep at least in 2 different places, just because leaving paradise is hard, and there’s too much beauty spreading around here. So try sleeping at the beach and in the jungle. At the end, you will find that your time here was not enough.
