Holidays in Boa Vista

An introduction to Boa Vista

If you really want to go where not many have gone before – Boavista will be one very impressive stamp on your passport. Famous for its Saharan-style dunes and endless cashmere-soft sands - if beaches were made for anywhere, it was here. Massaged by jade-coloured seas, it's a scene that could have easily fallen from the pages of a desert-island storybook. Well, Boavista does mean 'good view'. And what's so amazing about this place, is that it's relatively undiscovered. You'd think holidaymakers would be coming here in droves to discover this untouched Atlantic gem, but Boavista has so far shirked the limelight. Which is great news for you. Of course, most of your time here will be spent on the to-die-for beaches. And who could blame you? After all, you'll find Cape Verde's best stretch of sand here. Curralinho, also know as Santa Monica, can't help but stand out. An eye-poppingly gorgeous expanse of sand fringing crystalline seas, its good looks will knock the flip-flops off you. Whether you spend your days kicking your feet through the silky dunes, learning to windsurf the waves or simply sitting under the shade of a raffia-style parasol - you'll most definitely feel like you're onto something special here. When the going gets too hot down on the shores, take a trip to Sal Rei. Try the local specialities of locally caught tuna and delicious seafood dishes such as crab and lobster. Specialities here include 'capado' soup made from goat meat, and delicious seafood dishes such as crab and lobster. If you fancy getting out there to explore, there are endless walks across the sand dunes, where it's about as secluded as you can get. Or cast your eyes over the dramatic interior landscape on the off-road experience of a lifetime, travelling through untouched rural villages and frequent sitings of goats and donkeys. However you spend your days, make sure you mingle with the locals in the squares come sundown, who are always ready for good conversation. Then head to one of the laid-back bars where the lilt of Brazilian and African music sets the tropical tone for the night. So come and be at the cutting-edge of holidays and give this exotic escape the attention it deserves.
