Hotels Own Introduction
A Hidden Eden on Príncipe
Tucked away on the remote northwestern tip of Príncipe Island, Sundy Praia is a secluded sanctuary where nature reigns supreme. Once part of the island’s historic cocoa plantation, this lush retreat now exists in seamless harmony with its surroundings — a haven for parrots, kingfishers, monkeys, nesting turtles and even migrating humpback whales.
Tented Villas in the Wild
Fifteen elegant tented villas blend organic design with refined comfort. Generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, private terraces and, in select villas, secluded plunge pools create an immersive connection to the landscape while ensuring complete privacy and ease.
Island-Inspired Cuisine
Dining unfolds beneath a dramatic bamboo-and-thatch vaulted ceiling or al fresco under a canopy of stars. Seasonal menus celebrate the island’s fertile abundance, as local chefs transform fresh, regional ingredients into vibrant, memorable dishes inspired by Príncipe’s rich culinary heritage.
Wellness & Barefoot Luxury
An infinity pool overlooking the forest, a tranquil wellness centre and exclusive sandy beaches offer moments of pure relaxation. From restorative coffee-bean chiro massages to leisurely cocktails by the pool, every detail is designed to indulge the senses and honour the rhythm of island life.
