Boa VistaCape Verde

Beach vacations with beautiful views in Cape Verde Islands

The third largest Cape Verde island more than lives up to its name Boa Vista - beautiful view. With year-round pleasantly warm temperatures and around 350 days of sunshine, life on this enchanting island is cozy and unspoiled. Boa Vista enchants those seeking relaxation with its many dreamlike white sandy beaches and the turquoise blue shimmering sea. Sun, wind and waves not only create excellent conditions for bathers, but also for water sports enthusiasts.

If you move away from the coast a bit, you will almost get a Sahara feeling in the midst of wonderful dune landscapes. This can be experienced, for example, during a hike or quad ride in the fine sand dunes of the Deserto de Viana. In addition to the barren desert, there are also flowering oases on the easternmost island of Cape Verde. These diverse and at the same time untouched natural sceneries make Boa Vista something unique.
