Boavista Island

Boavista is an island of sand dunes, a truly tropical paradise of unique beauty. The long stretches of sand nested against the blue sea, warm currents through-out the year, quiet sand dunes, date palms and acacias dominate the landscape. The beaches in Boavista are amongst the finest in the world and offer ideal conditions for water sports.



The island is also known as the “breeding ground of musicians". In fact the best example of national music was born in Boavista: the morna. Street music and serenades are an integral part of the islander’s way of life.
