Beachfront vacation rentals in São Tomé and Príncipe

Absolutely magical stay in Nova Estrela! This charming little cabana in the wilderness was the perfect escape—peaceful, calm, and surrounded by stunning natural beauty. From the moment we arrived, the experience was seamless and welcoming. Our host, Estrela, was incredibly communicative and helpful, offering great recommendations (including help with renting a car), which made everything so much easier. The food was a highlight of the trip—Chef Valerio prepared the most delicious breakfasts and dinners for us each day, always with warmth and care, assisted by the amazing Carlos. What truly made this stay special was the sense of community. Everyone in Nova Estrela was kind, friendly, and made us feel right at home. It was an unforgettable experience, and I’m already dreaming of coming back. Highly recommended if you’re looking for an authentic and serene getaway.

Housekeepers were a really nice young couple. Great food. Very helpful. A good place to see the north of Sao Tome from. However a few problems with the listing. There is no wifi, or no lockbox (which would have made check in way easier). And the map coordinates aren't totally accurate, although, that is common with a lot of airbnb places.

This is a great place to stay in São Tomé! It was clean and homey. It’s very close to the airport and the city and Fátima is fantastic! She is so helpful and nice and made us feel very at home. There is also WiFi and air conditioning here.

communication with Waldyr was excellent before check in as well as during the whole stay. I stayed 25 days at this place. It is safe, clean, good neighbours. The place has got everything you need to stay comfortable and it is close to the centre of the town. However, you would be better off having a car or a motorbike during your stay as this makes things much easier. I will definitely be back to see my new friends

Extremely pleasant rooms in the Príncipe and in a great central location in Santo António. Judite (Dona) has the restaurant on the ground floor always with delicious food to leave - book lunch or dinner to secure a table and availability of dishes! The room has very good conditions, A/C, hot water and good quality Wi-Fi (to note that on the island they turn off electricity at 2am-3h in the morning). I have also been given some help renting a car or motorcycle - please ask in advance to ensure you have vehicles available for hire

Room with all the conditions and a wonderful view of the sea. Very good breakfast and all super helpful staff

Yves, Nick and Kevin were very responsive and helpful, even changing money! Breakfasts and dinner were great, but sometimes a bit later than wed asked for. The place is lovely with wonderful views and sounds of the sea. Water goes off occasionally, but don't think they could do anything about this!

The piloti cabin is well designed, made of simple materials and tastefully arranged materials, and offers amazing views, from inside and from the terrace (ideal for eating, napping or yoga). The floor-to-ceiling windows allow for great light and perfect ventilation to enjoy the spray and noise of the rolls. Good breakfast, and special mention for dinner: fresh and very well-cooked local products. Finally, nice contact with Yves, very accommodating and with good advice. Great stay!

Our family had a wonderful stay at VANHA. Bastien went above and beyond to host us, especially with the children / he took us on a walk around the plantation, at night set up his telescope to show us the planets and stars. His shop of local products is also amazing! Went home with vanilla pods, interesting tea and although we don’t drink, friends who joined us for a meal happily bought bottles of his bespoke gin from the distillery saying it was “clean and delicious, the best gin in Africa”.

House in front of the beach. Exactly what we were looking for! Clean and tidy, all great. It's not easy to get there, roads in a bit of bad condition nearby, but it's well worth the effort. Highly recommend. The restaurant belonging to the same owner also has very good food and very friendly staff.

Tribal Green 2 exceeded our expectations in every way. Nestled on a hill with breathtaking views of Santana Island, this accommodation offers a perfect blend of comfort and privacy. Our room was beautifully appointed, and the clean bathroom and the shower with a view added to our delight. The porch quickly became our favorite spot, where we could soak in the lush surroundings and stunning vistas. The location is fantastic, set in a welcoming neighborhood with little shops and “bars” (try a glas of palm wine!) just a short walk away. For beach lovers, Santana Beach and its dive center are only a 40-minute stroll, offering both relaxation & adventure. Nick's assistance was invaluable, ensuring our stay was smooth and memorable. We also loved the delicious breakfasts and dinners, which were a daily highlight. Communication with the landlord was always friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our time so much that we extended our stay beyond our initial plans. Tribal Green is truly a gem.

The Tortue ecolodge is located in an exceptional environment in the immediate vicinity of the sea. The ecolodge is made up of beautiful local treehouses. Rui and her team were both very respectful and attentive in order to make our stay enjoyable. The cuisine, based on local products, is very tasty and varied. We spent 15 days there and this place makes you want to come back. Chrisse and Jean-Michel

Excellent bungalow by the ocean. Nights lulled by the sound of waves. Good restaurant. Very welcoming people.

This place is absolutely stunning! Beautiful beaches and nature all around. The seafood at the lodge was exceptional.
