Mucumbli, Ecolodge at Ponta Figo beach, São Tomé and Príncipe
Mucumbli is an ecolodge on the Ponta Figo beach featuring five bungalows with terraces overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The property stands directly beside a shoreline covered in black basaltic sand.
The property was established to create jobs in the Lemba District and address local poverty through sustainable tourism. This initiative linked economic development with environmental protection in the area.
The lodging incorporates traditional construction methods visible in each apartment, built with stone and wood sourced locally. These building techniques reflect the island's architectural heritage and shape how the property feels.
The location works as a base for trips to Pico de São Tomé and Obô National Park, with guided walks and vehicle services available for exploration. Plan for uneven terrain and tropical weather conditions.
Guests can explore the Water Path, a trail lasting about four to five hours through Vale do Rio Contador that passes the Angolar Waterfall. This route offers a close look at the tropical landscape and natural water sources in the region.
