Hotel Riu Touareg
in
Boa Vista
,
Cape Verde Islands
Hemming 16 kilometres of pure white beach, the Riu Touareg is a seriously relaxing retreat.
This just-built hotel looks a bit like a sandcastle – appropriate really, given it fringes one of Boa Vista’s best beaches. This stretch of sand is exclusively for hotel guests, so it never gets overcrowded. Although it's a hotspot for nesting turtles during the summer months.
The hotel grounds are just as impressive. Glossy lawns and courtyards surround the buildings, creating a real sense of privacy. In terms of accommodation, you can opt for standard double rooms, family rooms or suites. There’s also an adults-exclusive area with a swimming pool and à la carte restaurant.
Adult zone aside, it’s the pool scene that really sets this place apart. There are four large pools, plus two separate children’s numbers. The main pool comes with islands and walkways, and weaves it way around the central terrace.
The hotel has plenty of restaurants, too. As well as the main buffet one, you’ve got the option of Cape Verdian, African and Asian eateries. And for al fresco lunches, there’s the poolside restaurant.

Your guide to Boa Vista, Cape Verde Islands
“Saharan-like sands. Deep blue surf. And a real take-it-easy vibe. More than any other Cape Verde island, Boa Vista is pure, undiluted bliss.”
If you thought the Caribbean was a one-off, think again. There’s another collection of islands hot on its heels - Cape Verde. This cluster of nine sits pretty in the Atlantic, mid-way between Africa and South America. Cape Verde has everything the Caribbean has by way of beaches and has even got colonial roots too, mixing up Portuguese, Brazilian and African touches. But there’s one important difference – these up-and-coming isles are almost untouched by tourism. So what you get here’s the Caribbean of yesteryear. Now, of all the Cape Verde Islands, Boa Vista’s got the best beaches. Its shoreline runs the gamut from small, rocky bays to big, empty sweeps of sand laced with raffia-roofed beach bars. The desert-island feel extends into Boa Vista’s interior, too. Here, wind-sculpted dunes give way to ice-cream coloured villages and volcanic hillsides. And then there’s the sea to think about. Boa Vista’s waters offer the perfect conditions for daredevil kite and windsurfers while under the surface, snorkellers and divers can gaze wide-eyed at a carnival of marine life. Back on dry land, life tends to revolve around Sal Rei. Laced with cobbled roads, makeshift shops and pastel-coloured cottages, this cutesy town’s got an earthy, easy-going charm that’s hard to resist. So if you’re looking for the ‘new’ Caribbean, check out Cape Verde. It’s the paradise destination du jour.
