Bom Bom is a tiny islet off the north coast of Principe, and provides the perfect base from which to discover this magical island. The small resort found there extends across two gentle beaches and nestles between lush rainforest-covered hills.

At Bom Bom guests will find a haven, a shelter and a restaurant where they can enjoy magnificent views of Principe and the ocean. The boutique resort offers forest hikes for birdwatchers, canoe expeditions with local fisherman to experience an ancient fishing technique, quad bikes to roam Principe and air-conditioned bungalows. The Island tours include a visit to the Old Portuguese town of San Antonio, technically the smallest city in the world, and visits to working plantations of cacao, coffee and vanilla, all of which are farmed underneath the forest canopy to support the long-term rehabilitation of the rainforest.
