Spinguera Eco Lodge

Boa Vista


Boa Vista's most magical hideaway is an abandoned fishing village converted into a stunning eco-lodge by the Italian artist owner. Inside whitewashed cottages, stylish and minimalist rooms showcase reclaimed wood and clay floors, and ocean views. The restaurant serves delectable food and there's a walkway down to your own little beach. A stay here is a splurge but a worthy one.

Spinguera Eco Lodge is located about 18km northeast of Sal Rei.
