BELO MONTE

Experience the panoramic views of Belo Monte

Belo Monte is one of the six roças that make up São Tomé and Príncipe's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, inscribed in July 2026.

Experience the timeless allure of Hotel Belo Monte, where nature and comfort exist in perfect harmony. Overlooking rainforest and the Gulf of Guinea, this unique hotel offers sweeping views of Príncipe’s lush coastline, with the iconic Banana Beach nestled just below.

The property features elegant buildings interspersed with courtyards, lawns, a swimming pool, terraces, lounges, a bar, restaurant, and library. The décor is grand yet welcoming, with high ceilings, leather armchairs, chandeliers, and candelabras. Guests enjoy exclusive access to the island’s only private movie theatre and are just moments from Praia Grande – perfect for witnessing turtle season from November to April.
