The Island of Rolas is sand, jungle, volcanic rock, and sea breeze. It is that place where you can experience authentic sustainable tourism by witnessing the birth of turtles protected by patrols, scuba diving in the best beaches of São Tomé and Príncipe and whale watching in its open sea. And if these spectacular phenomena weren't enough, traveling to the Island of Rolas is discovering what resembles the center of the planet: with the monument marking the Equator as the great star of tourism and being so close to the zero meridian... what more do you need to see this island as one of the most special places to visit in São Tomé and Príncipe?
"Because there is no better place to feel like the true center of the world"
The smallest of the inhabited Islands of São Tomé and Príncipe, it is a true paradisiacal destination that boasts of being one of the most unknown and unique islands of Africa: from hearing the roar of its waters through chimneys opened in volcanic rock shaped like blowholes to swimming with leatherback turtles and sleeping in cabins built facing a crystal-clear sea, this islet is a true unknown paradise. And if you come to this oasis in November or February - one of the best times to travel to São Tomé and Príncipe - you can meet the turtles by water and land, witnessing how they lay their eggs on the beaches of Rolas. Do you want to know the world's navel?
I like to explore off the beaten path, where the known lacks mystery. Traveling alone allows me to discover remote places, enjoy landscapes, and learn from local communities. I am a free spirit who follows his impulses and enjoys every moment, choosing destinations without hesitation, as each place has its own soul.
