Saint Helena

The Secret Island of the South Atlantic

Saint Helena is one of the most remote inhabited islands on Earth — a volcanic jewel in the South Atlantic, full of dramatic landscapes, rich history, and a sense of timeless isolation. Known as the final exile of Napoleon Bonaparte, Saint Helena is today a haven for adventurers, hikers, and travelers seeking peace and authenticity far from the beaten path.

Top Attractions

1. Jamestown – A Valley Frozen in Time

The island’s capital, Jamestown, is a narrow, picturesque town tucked between steep cliffs. Explore Georgian architecture, the Museum of Saint Helena, and the Castle Gardens. Walk along the harbor or take in views from above after climbing the iconic Jacob’s Ladder — all 699 steps!

Visit the Longwood House, where Napoleon Bonaparte spent his final years in exile. The house is beautifully preserved, surrounded by misty pastures and gardens. Nearby, his original tomb site lies in a peaceful valley known as the Valley of the Tomb.

The island’s highest point, Diana’s Peak, offers spectacular hikes through lush forests and endemic plant life. From the summit, enjoy sweeping views over the rugged coastline and interior ridges.

A gentle hike through green valleys leads to this 90-meter-high waterfall shaped like a heart, especially dramatic during the rainy season.

Saint Helena’s waters are a paradise for diving, snorkeling, and boat tours. From December to March, swim with whale sharks, the ocean’s gentle giants. Spot dolphins, humpback whales, and explore shipwrecks off the coast.
