Discover Boa Vista

One of the incredible Cape Verde islands, Boa Vista hosts many of the most idyllic white sand and clear water beaches. An increasingly popular beach holiday destination in the Cape Verde, Boa Vista is fast becoming the place of choice for beach lovers and sun worshipers due to the friendly culture and vast choice of stunning beaches.

Holidays to Boa Vista centre around the main beaches of the island, Chave beach, Currolintio beach and Santa Monica beach, where you will find the majority of accommodation options. Towards the east coast of the island the beach provides a nestling point for turtles, and in the centre of the island you will find sand dunes punctuated by date trees, a unique mix that epitomises the dramatic and varied landscape of the Cape Verde islands.

There are plenty of activities to do whilst staying on Boa Vista, as well as soaking up the sun on one of the many exquisite beaches. Snorkelling is popular due to the amazingly clear waters; Estoril beach and Sal Rei beach are considered some of the best spots for this. There are other water sport options such as sailing, canoeing, windsurfing and big game fishing for which the islands are well-known. Ambling around the small picturesque villages and taking a Jeep safari are also great pastimes. Sal Rei, the island's capital, plays host to a range of restaurants, shops and the majority of evening entertainment outside of the resort hotels, with some bars and cafes for music and drinks. Fish and shellfish are in abundance in Boa Vista's local restaurants, which are incredibly well priced and of a high standard. The Portuguese and Brazilian mix, due to the islands location, inspires the delicious food and unique atmosphere of all of the Cape Verde islands.

Boa Vista holidays are perfect for relaxation and basking in the laid-back island vibe, with amazing beaches and good food. An island lovers paradise, there is plenty to do to explore the charm of the island, plus opportunity to island hop to the other Cape Verde islands.
