Out of our huge range of hotels to choose from, the Riu Touareg hotel in Cape Verde always comes out on top – and the glowing reviews speak for themselves!

Cape Verde’s Calling

Cape Verde holidays are becoming more and more popular – and it’s not hard to see why. This cluster of 10 idyllic islands is known for year-round sunshine, golden sandy beaches, and its fascinating blend of cultures. Add in whale-watching tours, desert landscapes and dune adventures, and you’ve got a destination full of surprises.

 

 

Boa Vista, the island where you’ll find the Riu Touareg, is a true favourite with travellers. Its name literally means “beautiful view,” and with miles of soft sand, crystal-clear waters and a relaxed pace of life, it’s the perfect backdrop for your next Cape Verde holiday.

Six Tasty Spots

A big selling point for this hotel is the six fabulous restaurants you can enjoy as part of your all inclusive package. The restaurant lineup includes an a la carte, Kulinarium, which is reserved for guests staying in the adults only section. The buffet restaurant serves dishes from around the globe. There are show-cooking stations, and a terrace and courtyard if you fancy dining al fresco. Special dietary requirements are catered for as well as vegetarian options. 

 

 

To get a real taste of things, the Boatvista themed restaurant offers plenty of dishes for dinner. This buffet restaurant is open for two sittings during the evening subject to hotel occupancy. Starter and dessert are buffet and the main course is à la carte. Bookings can be made at reception. The best of traditional Italian cuisine is celebrated in the Da Marcello restaurant. And you’ll need to make a table reservation, too. The Bereber poolside restaurant joins on to the main buffet restaurant and offers continental breakfast, lunch and snacks. Just to let you know, dinner is not currently being served here. Reservations are required for the Kabuki Asian buffet restaurant and two sittings take place during the evening subject to hotel occupancy. 

 

 

Day To Night Fun!

With six pools, two kids’ pools, and an adults-only pool with whirlpool and bar, the Riu Touareg has a pool scene to be proud of. The main pool, overlooking the beach, is particularly impressive, complete with in-water loungers so you can soak up the views in style.

 

 

Daytimes bring plenty of choice: kids can join in with RiuLand activities or unleash their creativity at RiuArt, while adults can get stuck into beach volleyball, mini-football, or basketball. Love the water? Boa Vista is one of the best places in Cape Verde for watersports, and at the Riu Touareg you can try snorkelling, kayaking, windsurfing, or even a scuba diving taster.

 

 

The hotel really ups the ante in the evenings, shows on the main stage have a family-friendly theme, with the kids themselves starring in weekly performances laid on by RiuLand kids’ club. There’s also a mini disco and karaoke for anyone who’s feeling brave. Adults can also let their hair down at the ‘Riu Get Together Party’ at the sister hotel Riu Karamboa, transport’s included. If that wasn’t enough, there’s a nightclub that’s open from 11pm until 2am for those late night grooves.
