A RAINFOREST ISLAND WITH A VISION

We are on a mission

We are aspiring to change the world for the better through our unique sustainable tourism development model. Working with the government of São Tomé and Príncipe, and the island communities, we are dedicated to the conservation of Príncipe Island, a precious UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. By creating responsible ecotourism experiences, and championing intentional, sustainable development, we help to provide enriching opportunities to those who call Príncipe home, without damaging culture, traditions, or the island’s fragile natural environment.

Committed to make a difference

Our ethos when HBD Príncipe was founded more than a decade ago was rooted in the understanding that what makes Príncipe so special already exists, and must be preserved. Príncipe’s nature and communities make it different, and we have a differentiated commitment to preserving and celebrating them.

Our sustainability efforts

Embracing the essence of nature

Africa’s second smallest country, this remote archipelago was created by volcanic activity in the Gulf of Guinea some 31 million years ago. Home to some of the most biodiverse rainforests on the planet, striking phonolite towers and pristine beaches, the spectacular landscapes of the ancient isles and their spirited communities remain, shaped by recent history.
