What our Guests say about us
“The staff are like old friends, and just about everybody doing anything interesting in the islands ends up at the Omali Bar. I feel it is sort of my island home and my island friends are eventually always there. It is the meeting place for folks who make the island magic what it is.”
Bob Drews - San Francisco, California
“I stayed in Omali Lodge this summer and it was the perfect base to explore the island. The friendly staff helps to organize your excursions and speak multiple languages. Also spacious and luxurious rooms and great food. Good seafood but also loved the curries!”
Jacqueline - Netherlands
“... I have been traveling every 2-3 months to Sao Tomé & Principe and I always stays at the Omali Lodge. This boutique hotel is really charming with its coco trees garden... The rooms are very pleasant, large and comfortable, very clean and quiet, well decorated, a lot of small attention which makes the difference…”

History and Culture
The chocolate islands
Read More“ AThe islands are places of solitude and never is this so clear as when those passing through are about to depart and stand at the docks to say farewell to those remaining behind. At the moment of farewell, it is almost always sadder to remain than to depart, and on an island, this marks a fundamental difference, as if there were two species of human beings: those who live on the island and those who arrive and depart”

São Tomé e Príncipe
São Tomé and Príncipe, officially designated the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe, is an island state located in the Gulf of Guinea. It consists of two main islands (São Tomé and Príncipe) and several smaller islands, with a total area of around 1001 km² and 160 thousand inhabitants. It has no land frontiers but is relatively close to the coasts of Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon and Nigeria.
The islands of São Tomé and Príncipe were uninhabited when the Portuguese navigators João de Santarém, Pedro Escobar and Edigel Campos discovered them in 1470. Hence, they became a Portuguese colony from the 15th century up to their Independence, on the 12th July, 1975.
