São Tomé and Príncipe Family Holidays

Blend adventurous exploration, rich cultural encounters, and tranquil beach retreats for an unforgettable holiday

São Tomé and Príncipe, situated in the Gulf of Guinea, collectively provide a unique and enchanting setting for memorable family holidays.

São Tomé and Príncipe might not be the first destination that springs to mind for a family holiday, but that’s part of the appeal. These two small islands off the west coast of Africa offer something wonderfully different: a chance to share genuine adventures, far from the usual tourist trail. Think quiet beaches where turtles nest in season, warm waters for swimming and snorkelling, and rainforest walks where monkeys chatter overhead. There's wildlife to discover, cocoa plantations to explore, and friendly local guides who bring it all to life for curious young travellers.

“The islands are peaceful and safe, with plenty of space for children to run wild in nature,” says Otti, our Africa Specialist. “It’s a great option for families who want to slow down, spend time together, and try something truly unique.”

We’ll tailor your trip around your family’s needs, whether that’s finding accommodation with plenty of space and shade, building in time to relax by the pool, or including more active adventures like kayaking and boat trips. It’s a wonderfully off-grid choice, full of simple pleasures and once-in-a-lifetime memories.

“São Tomé and Príncipe is ideal for families looking to step away from the usual holiday routine. There’s so much here that captures children’s imaginations – from rainforest walks and turtle sightings to boat trips and learning where chocolate comes from. It’s safe, welcoming, and full of natural wonder.”
