Women's Day on March 8 is a significant date to celebrate with a trip to Boa Vista. But it is not a celebration to define the desire to go and take the world and your life. Any moment can be the right one to reserve some time for yourself or in the company of friends and, why not, with sisters, mothers or daughters, going to get to know places, people, cultures. And by the way: Women's Day in Cape Verde, Dia da Mulher cabo-verdiana, is celebrated on March 27*, one more occasion to be there.
A safe, easy, exotic but not too exotic destination . Cape Verde, and in particular Boa Vista, less than 6 hours flight from Italy (with direct flight), represents one of the trending destinations for holidays in 2025.
Politically stable, it is a republic and independent since 1975. Cape Verde is considered one of the safest countries to visit, rated with a minimum travel insecurity index: “Insignificant travel security risk”. Source factsinstitute.
Safe even for women traveling alone
Many choose the destination to leave alone and many are the women who quickly find themselves in a close-knit group, even outside the all-inclusive resorts.
Have you ever heard of the famous Cape Verdean Morabeza ? It is the special cordiality, the welcome of these Creole people, who live on islands in a sweet Africa, a crossroads between Europe, Africa and Latin America. Maybe it is the always pleasant climate, maybe it is the music that is everywhere and persuasive, maybe it is the food, but you immediately feel at home.
In the Top 10 African countries with the most beautiful beaches, Cape Verde is in 4th place after Seychelles, Mauritius and South Africa, followed by Tanzania with Zanzibar, then Egypt, Mozambique, Kenya, Namibia and Ghana.
Experience Boa Vista and Cape Verde in a different way, with original and extraordinary experiences.
A fantastic, sustainable and responsible trip, organized in collaboration with the best local agencies. More real and completely tailor-made, this is the vision of I Love Boavista, tour operator and DMC born to make Boa Vista and the other islands of Cape Verde known, experienced and loved.
Leave alone, as a couple, with friends or with family.
For a trek or a photographic safari or absolute relaxation. And also seeking an immersion in the local culture and nature, practicing water sports such as kite or wind surfing and living unique experiences and adventures. All this and much more is what the tour operator offers, which from the threshold of the house, as soon as the door is closed behind them, accompanies through a journey full of emotions. Once you have reached your destination, ILB collaborators will welcome you and take you to the hotel or to a comfortable apartment. For the entire duration of your stay there will always be someone available to direct and involve you in the Bubista mood.
Widespread hotel, for an even more authentic journey
The choice to fully experience Boa Vista can be a comfortable 4-star urban hotel, but even more engaging to enter the atmosphere of the island is the choice of the widespread hotel. It is the first widespread hotel in Cape Verde, proposed by I Love Boavista , which offers the opportunity to enjoy an immersive holiday in contact with the local population, in apartments located in strategic positions, often with a sea view, but with all the comforts of a hotel. From breakfast at home or in partner restaurants, to access to the beach club, from the 24-hour reception to the staff available for every need, and much more.
But what does it mean to choose to experience the island? A more sustainable and responsible way of doing tourism, of getting in touch with the local culture, also putting yourself out there by comparing yourself with other languages, even though Italian is very widespread in Boa Vista, and everyone is available to understand you and try to connect with you. But above all it means giving impetus to the local economy, by frequenting restaurants and bars, beach clubs. Going to listen to live music and participating in parties and celebrations, shopping at the fruit and vegetable and fish market, buying eggs and goat cheese directly from the producers.
And also choose excursions and experiences proposed by the inhabitants of Boa Vista. Does it seem like little? And instead it is a completely different idea that turns a vacation into a journey. A journey that brings wealth to those who do it and to those who receive it, with attention to the places and without distorting them with an excess of tourism.
Proposal for March 8th or March 27th* or any other date you wish to choose in the coming months .
ILB proposals are always tailor-made to fit the customer's needs. Starting from just the flight or just the stay to what represents the mission: building a tailor-made trip, including excursions, experiences and services.
For example , a week, double accommodation, also single use in Half Board at the White Hotel, or in one of the apartments of the widespread hotel, plus two group excursions off-road. The full day excursion of the island with lunch included in one of the villages of the interior and another half day, to discover the fantastic landscapes of Boa Vista and the 55 km of golden and wild beaches. Direct international flight included: from € 1490 per person.
*Cape Verdean Women's Day is celebrated on March 27 to commemorate the founding of the Cape Verde Women's Organization (OMCV), which took place on March 27, 1981. The OMCV is recognized as the first feminist association in the country, founded by figures such as Josefina Chantre and Paula Fortes. Although the OMCV began its activities a few years earlier, the official date of its founding is March 27, 1981, making it Cape Verdean Women's Day.
Amílcar Cabral, leader of the independence movement of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, was assassinated on January 20, 1973. After his death, women who had participated in the struggle for independence continued to fight for women's rights, leading to the creation of the OMCV in 1981.
Therefore, the celebration of March 27 is directly linked to the founding of the OMCV and the recognition of the significant role of women in Cape Verdean society.
