Rolas Island
South of São Tomé Island, São Tomé and Príncipe
Ilhéu das Rolas, a tiny islet of about 2 square kilometers directly on the Equator off the southern tip of São Tomé Island in São Tomé and Príncipe, separated by the narrow Canal das Rolas, rises to a maximum elevation of 96 meters and hosts a small population of around 76 residents focused on tourism.
Renowned for its pristine beaches, lush tropical forests, vibrant marine life ideal for snorkeling and diving, and the iconic equator monument where visitors can straddle hemispheres, it features a historic lighthouse built in 1929 and the exclusive Pestana Equador resort offering luxury escapes amid cocoa plantations and exotic wildlife.
Accessible only by ferry from Ponta Baleia on São Tomé, this remote paradise draws adventurers seeking equatorial serenity and biodiversity in one of Africa's smallest nations.
