Cape Verde Winter Escape

Boa Vista, Cape Verde

Up-and-coming islands

Mention Cape Verde to the man on the street, and it’s likely you’ll get a blank look in response. These islands, about 400 miles off the coast of Senegal, have only recently emerged from obscurity. But, in certain circles, they’re creating a real stir. The 10 isles, one of which is Boa Vista, offer up some knock-out beaches, not to mention toasty temperatures all year round.

Picture perfect isle

Boa Vista, Cape Verde’s most easterly island, translates as ‘Beautiful View’. And when you first set eyes on the beaches, you’ll see where it gets its nickname. The island is wrapped up in 55 kilometres’ worth of coastline, where rocky coves merge into white-sand bays.

Where to stay

Most of the hotels in Boa Vista are nestled in the Curralinho district, behind Santa Monica Beach. This 18-kilometre ribbon of blonde sand was named after the famous California version, but it's nowhere near as busy. Stay here and you’ll have easy access to the nearby capital, Sal Rei. It’s a town of petite proportions, where rainbow-bright surf shops and cafés set the scene.

On the horizon of Boa Vista and its Cape Verdean sisters, you can appreciate a dry, almost lunar landscape, which in years gone by was covered by vegetation that was destroyed by drought. Nevertheless, the island is full of locations with spectacular beaches such as the Playas de las Tortugas (turtle beaches), Chaves beach, Santa Monica beach and the cemetery of dolphins. You mustn’t miss the various excursions that you can go on in the vicinity of the ClubHotel and places such as the desert of Viana, Rabil, Sal Rei and Chaves beach.

The Hotel Riu Touareg and the island of Boa Vista will reveal the beauty of the desert and unique animals this destination has to offer.
