Pestana Equador, Island resort on Ilheu das Rolas, São Tomé and Príncipe.
The Pestana Equador sits on Ilheu das Rolas, featuring direct beach access with white sand shores, saltwater swimming pools, and modern accommodations surrounded by tropical vegetation and clear ocean waters.
The resort was established on an island that holds historical significance as the point where the equator crosses Africa, marking the geographic division between the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
The property integrates local architectural elements with traditional materials while organizing cultural events featuring São Toméan music and dance performances, particularly on weekend evenings for guests.
Check-in begins at 2:00 PM and check-out is required by 12:00 PM, with two restaurants serving fresh seafood and local cuisine, plus complimentary Wi-Fi access throughout the property.
Guests can stand at the exact equatorial line marker on the island, experiencing the rare opportunity to be simultaneously in both Northern and Southern hemispheres of Earth.
