Bom Bom Island Resort

Re-opening at the end of 20214 this lovely and much-enjoyed tropical island retreat is on a tiny, forest-clad islet off the northern side of Príncipe, from which it is separated by a 140 metre wooden walkway.

The 19, comfortably furnished and spacious bungalows all have air -conditioning and private veranda.

There are 4 bungalow categories: garden view, pool view, sea view and sea-front.

At the spacious and airy lounge (average temperature year-round is about 27 - 32 degrees), diners can enjoy fresh seafood and delight in trying out some tropical fruit which thrives here: as for jaca, cajá-manga, sape-sape, izaquente, fruta-pão, maquêqueê, or micócó, aside from the better known fruit we're familiar with from tropical climes. The chef likes to keep dishes simple, a blend of European and African flavours.

Contact us for details about a range of excursions that can be arranged at the lodge, if you wish to explore Principe's rainforests, go hiking, see cacao plantations or enjoy a pirogue (dugout canoe) trip.
