Varela is a beach village in Guinea-Bissau. It is a little paradise, with a superb Italian-owned hotel, beautiful beaches, pine forests and a relaxed atmosphere with almost no other tourists.

Varela travel guide

Getting there

There is public transport from São Domingos, but if you're a group of 4-6 persons, it will be more comfortable to rent a seven-seat Peugeot with a driver for some days. The trip São Domingos-Varela is some 50 km on a very bad road with many potholes. The trip will take at least two hours.

Do

Chill out on the best beaches of mainland Guinea-Bissau

Sleep

1 Casa Aberta KasumayaKu. Lodging owned by a friendly Italian, with restaurant and coastal location.
