The fantastic island offers a range of proposals to welcome couples at their first heartbeats, consolidated couples who rediscover the pleasure of sharing, friends who seal friendship as a precious asset for an unforgettable Valentine's Day. And if it's too late to plan the trip, it's still the right occasion to give a dream.
For those who want to celebrate their love on Valentine's Day, Boa Vista is the ideal setting. Because everything the island offers is a priceless gift that often, inevitably, makes one fall in love with and connects with romantic hearts. Not only the endless beaches , over 55 km of golden sands, the Saharan desert in the center of the island and the dunes that dive into the sea like soft waves of cream. Or the crystalline, turquoise and blue ocean; the turtles that peek out among the kiters. One also falls in love with the island for its unique atmosphere, made of simple and rare things and for the hospitality of its inhabitants, the famous morabeza. It can happen little by little, or it is love at first sight, but often one leaves one's heart there and even before returning, sodade , nostalgia, advances.
And if your partner still has any doubts, it will be the por do sol , the languid and evocative sunset of the sun diving into the ocean, that will make him/her capitulate.
There are many experiences to live the island that will remain imprinted in your eyes and heart.
Fall in love - on the dunes. In an off-road vehicle or quad, take an excursion to Morro de Areia, where deep, mobile dunes plunge into the ocean, and then continue to Varandinha, the natural park beach. Visit the caves created by the tide and with an adventurous ride along the beach reach the famous Santa Monica, classified among the ten most beautiful beaches in Africa.
Falling in love - on horseback. What's more romantic than a horseback ride along the beach or into the interior of the island? Just the two of you and the sky and sea around you. But accompanied by an expert on the territory who will be able to indicate the best routes.
fall in love - with a day at Cabrer and the donkey sanctuary. Live the experience of milking a goat, taking a few days old lamb in your arms, stopping under a very old acacia tree to taste the local coffee, the cachupa , the local dish of corn, beans and vegetables, with the freshly laid egg and also watching the goat cheese being made following the expert hands of Mrs. Tina. On the way back, stop at the donkey sanctuary, Nha Horta. Here, some typical donkeys of the island have been rescued and saved, now in the wild, and are cared for and cuddled. Some have given birth, and the tender little ones, shaggy and mama's boys, are beautiful!
Falling in love - watching the whales jump. The season of the humpback whales - Baleia da bossa - is about to begin. From February to May, in the waters around Boa Vista, you can spot these magnificent specimens that stop to wean their young and mate. A boat trip and there we are in front of the majestic animals, jumping, snorting, and making romantic calls.
Falling in love - under the stars. Accompanied by experts with powerful telescopes in the silence and darkness of the Viana desert, without any light to disturb, you can live a unique experience to discover and see stars and planets. At the end, typical dinner in the restaurant in the desert.
Falling in love - in a luxury suite and at an eco-resort . Even the location for hearts in turmoil has a relevance. Here then is a luxury suite with white wooden beams, a terrace overlooking the sea, the minimal and comfortable furnishings of the new 4-star White hotel , to feel pampered by attentive staff, enjoying a rich tropical-style breakfast, and one of the best restaurants on the island. A stone's throw from the beautiful Estoril beach and the town center.
And if you are looking for an even more romantic nest, you can include in your stay a couple of nights or more at the Spinguera Eco-resort , an ancient fishing village expertly restored while maintaining the original structure. Reachable only by off-road vehicle, it offers a few elegant rooms arranged in traditional stone houses, where peace, privacy, intimacy and silence reign supreme. Just the ocean and the two of you, by candlelight.
Fall in love - in the widespread hotel, in a delightful apartment with a sea view. Choose the unique proposals of I Love Boavista, the apartments of the widespread hotel, the first example on the island.

Fall in love – with a dinner in an old sobrado .
