Santana beach

Santana is a beach in the east of Sao Tome island. There is a wild tropical forest around. It is beautiful. But on the other hand, it is also a home for a lot of mosquitoes. The beach itself has smooth entry into the water and without strong waves. For 25 euros per person, you can use the hotel's swimming pool and sunbeds. Good snorkeling is possible at the edges of the bay. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Club Santana Beach & Resort is a 4-star hotel with rooms' rates starting from US$300 per night. The service is not so good, as one might expect for the money they charge. But it's like that everywhere in Africa.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Sao Tome international airport (TMS). Next hire a taxi. There is also public transport on the island, but the bus routes are not convenient for tourists in most cases.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in Sao Tome and Principe is a dry season from June to September. Unfortunately, sea water is relatively cold during this period.
