Flights to Boa Vista Airport
Whether you’re after sun-soaked beaches or pastel-painted towns, flights to Rabil Airport open up the best of Boa Vista.
Book a flight to Boa Vista and you’ll touch down in Rabil. Once the central hub, it’s now a sleepy little place that serves as a gateway to the rest of the island. First stop is the capital, Sal Rei. The journey is five minutes by ‘aluguer’, or public minibus. The locals cluster around the main square, and the streets leading off it are lined with restaurants and cafés. But the main reason people book a flight to Boa Vista is for the island’s coastline, and it’s well worth the trip. Top of the list is Curralinho in the south. Better known as Santa Monica, this one is considered to be the biggest and best in Cape Verde.
