Out of our huge range of hotels to choose from, this one tickles travellers’ fancies the most, and the reviews speak for themselves!
Cape Verde’s Calling
More and more travellers are adding holidays to Cape Verde to their must-try destination list. Made up of 10 isles, the Cape Verde Islands all have one thing in common, an enviable climate and spectacular beaches. With a mix of cultural influences these islands are packed with charm. There’s also the option of whale-watching and scenic exploration. Boa Vista, where the Riu Touareg is situated, is a beach-lovers favourite with soft sands perfect for sunbathing, low-key watersports and sandcastle-building fun. Its name literally means ‘beautiful view’ and this certainly sums up charming Boa Vista.
The hotel boasts a fantastic location in a beautiful spot along Praia de Lacacao beach. The hotel is around 25km from the airport, so you can step out into the sunshine and arrive at your hotel in 35 minutes. The Riu Touareg is ideal for a relaxing escape, thanks to the 24-hour All Inclusive concept and adults-only section, what more could you possibly want?
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!
No matter what time of day it is, or what activities you’re into, you’ll always find the perfect thing to keep you entertained at the RIU Touareg. There are a handful of pools, and two extras for kids. The main pool, with its islands and walkways, weaves its way around the central sun terrace. There’s also a saltwater pool, which takes the count up to an impressive six swimming spots.
During the daytime, the RiuLand kids’ club serves up a daily activity schedule of lively activities and pirate-themed days. Kids can also be booked onto RiuArt if they want to unleash their inner picasso on holiday. Adults can enjoy regular live sport screenings, as well as a well equipped gym if you want to work up a sweat in other ways than sunbathing.
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.
Relax At RIU
We’re sure after all the food sampling, swimming, sunbathing and partying, you’ll be completely pooped! But not to worry, because the RIU Touareg has the perfect facilities to ensure you rest and recuperate ready for another day of fun in the sun. Rooms here have air-con, a TV and a balcony or terrace. For a bit extra, you can choose to upgrade to a junior suite, or try a family suite with a separate lounge. If there are only adults in your party, we recommend you opt for an adults’ area room with a minibar and an adults-only pool area. Or, for a bit of luxury, pick an adults’ area junior suite with a whirlpool tub.
Daytime relaxation comes in the form of the stunning spa and wellness centre. You’ll find the spa on the beachfront, offering an extensive selection of treatments including massages such as Swedish and deep tissue, facials, body wraps, nail treatments and waxing. The Turkish bath is for adults only. You can kick back, relax and take in beautiful views of the sunset from the toasty jacuzzi. It tends to get busy around 4pm so a reservation may be required. You must be 18 years and over to use this facility.
