What does "all-inclusive" really mean on a trip to São Tomé and Príncipe? Find out what's covered in your package price and how to plan your 2027 vacation.

If you searched for all-inclusive vacations to São Tomé, the question on your mind is probably: is there really a package where everything is handled, with no last-minute surprises? The answer is yes — but it's worth understanding exactly what "all-inclusive" means when the destination is São Tomé and Príncipe, quite different from a beach resort holiday with an open bar all day.

What does "all-inclusive" mean on a trip to São Tomé and Príncipe?
São Tomé and Príncipe doesn't have the large all-inclusive resorts found in other tropical destinations, with buffets and unlimited drinks around the clock. What does exist — and what we aim to offer on our circuits — is a trip that's "all-inclusive" in the most practical sense of the word: flight, accommodation, guide, driver, insurance and every excursion already organized and paid for upfront in a single price, so the traveler doesn't have to arrange anything separately.

What's included in our 8-day circuit
- Round-trip flight, with TAP Air Portugal or STP Airways
- Official guide and driver, with a 4x4 vehicle and fuel included
- Every tour and excursion on the circuit, including the Coffee Route, the Cocoa Route and the Paradise Beaches Route
- Accommodation at the Omali Príncipe Collection Hotel and 2 nights at a boutique jungle hotel
- Half-board meal plan, with 2 Gourmet Experience lunches included
- Travel assistance insurance

How much does an all-inclusive vacation to São Tomé cost in 2027?
Our reference circuit, 8 days and 7 nights long, averages 2,350€ per person, with a 450€ supplement for those who prefer a single room. To see exactly what's included in this price and how it compares to other options, we have a whole article dedicated to it: how much does a trip to São Tomé and Príncipe cost.

Want the experience closest to an all-inclusive resort? Discover Príncipe Island
If what you're really after is the feeling of an isolated retreat, with everything handled from start to finish and nothing left to worry about, the extension to Príncipe Island is the answer. The 10-day "Expedição a São Tomé e Príncipe de Lés-a-Lés" package already includes a stay at the Bom Bom Príncipe Collection resort — one of the most exclusive and secluded spots in the archipelago — and costs 3,100€ per person, with flights already included.

Why it's worth booking your 2027 vacation now
The best hotels in São Tomé are small and exclusive — many with just 4 to 6 rooms — and they sell out well in advance, especially for the dry season (gravana), between June and September, which tends to be the most sought-after. Booking ahead for 2027 is the only way to secure a spot at the right hotels, on the right dates. If you're still unsure about the best time to travel, we wrote a full guide on the best time to visit São Tomé and Príncipe.

What's not included (so there are no surprises)
- Lunches not mentioned in the half-board plan
- Drinks with meals
- Visas and entry fees, where applicable
- Cancellation insurance (optional)
- Tips and personal expenses
