ROÇA SUNDY

Discover the real character of Príncipe

At Roça Sundy you discover the real character of Príncipe Island. Stay in the heart of Principe’s chocolate story at this characterful, boutique plantation hotel and learn how the production of  chocolate has been reclaimed by the local community, who are now creating organic, delicious and fairly traded confectionery of the highest quality. Not only that, but did you know it was here that Einstein’s theory of relativity was proven in 1919?

Roça Sundy comprises two beautifully restored buildings: Eclipse House and Cacao House.

3 GOOD REASONS

to stay at Roça Sundy

ACCOMMODATION

Discover another side of Príncipe

Roça Sundy is Príncipe Collection’s much loved boutique hotel, comprising two beautifully restored buildings, Eclipse House and Cacao House.  From here, it is an easy and scenic 2 km walk to the beach at Sundy Praia.

Originally, Roca Sundy was home to the Sundy plantation owners, where, back in a darker past, slave-farmed cacao turned Sao Tome and Principe into one of the biggest cacao producers in the world. Today, though, every stay here helps to support local initiatives, protect the island’s unique ecosystems and foster community well-being. In this way, we hope to make it a part of the island’s positive future, without forgetting its past.
