Sipopo

Sipopo is Equatorial Guinea's showpiece resort and conference enclave on the northeastern shore of Bioko Island, about a 25-minute drive from the capital Malabo. Set between tropical rainforest and a long sweep of white sand, it pairs a five-star hotel, an 18-hole golf course and a private beach with the Centre de Conférence de Sipopo, the country's flagship diplomatic venue. Built almost overnight as a purpose-made "city" to host African Union leaders, Sipopo was designed to put Equatorial Guinea on the map as a conference destination. Today it draws a different crowd: beachgoers, golfers, summit delegates and travellers using it as a polished seaside base before exploring the rest of Bioko.

Pico Basilé

Pico Basilé is the roof of Equatorial Guinea. At 3,011 metres (9,879 ft), this dormant shield volcano on Bioko Island is the country's highest point and the summit of the overlapping basaltic volcanoes that built the island itself. It rises almost straight out of the tropical lowlands just behind the capital, Malabo, so a single morning's climb can carry you from humid coastal heat to the cool, dripping cloud forest and a windswept crater rim crowned by antennas. For travellers already in Malabo, it is the country's most rewarding day trip: a paved road climbs the northern flank through coffee plantations and hillside villages to high viewpoints, and on clear mornings the panorama opens across Bioko, the Gulf of Guinea and, far to the northeast, the outline of Mount Cameroon on the mainland. Above all, it is a place of exceptional ecology—its moss-wrapped montane forests shelter island-endemic birds and primates found nowhere else on Earth.
