New New Destination: São Tomé

The island of São Tomé is so tiny it doesn't even show up on a lot of globes. However, once you reach this forgotten island off the west coast of Africa you will have plenty of fine sand beaches to yourself.

What To Do?: Discover a far flung pristine beach and bake within inches of the equator, eat fresh caught barracuda for lunch, take part in extreme game fishing, or grab a machete and go all Dr. Livingston on a rain forest hike.

Getting There: New York :: Lisbon, Portugal :: São Tomé via a variety of airlines. Flight time 28hr 25min.

Where To Stay: Club Santana offers 30 private bungalows set in a garden overlooking private beaches or the Bom Bom Island Resort (on Principe) for those who want a little more luxury.

Official Site: www.saotome.st

Bonus Tip: The recently renovated Marlin Hotel is for sale, if you have $4.5 MM.
