Rabil

2 Recommended Hotels
Hotel Riu Palace Boavista - All Inclusive
Boa Vista, Cape Verde
Best overallWhy this position: Highest guest score of the 2 hotels we rank here — 8.7 from 101 reviews. Leads the ranking: a higher guest score than #2 (8.7 to 8.6).
Perfect for travellers who want a high-end beachfront stay with excellent wellness options. Rated well by guests, this resort provides direct access to Praia das Dunas. Select suites even feature private swim-up pools, complemented by four distinct international dining venues and a fitness centre. A drawback to consider is that the resort experiences high occupancy during peak holiday seasons, and there is limited local dining within walking distance.
Barceló Marine Boa Vista - Adults Only
Boa Vista, Cape Verde
Adults onlyWhy this position: A 4-star hotel scoring 8.6 from 143 reviews: the guest verdict outweighs the star class. Rests on more guest reviews than #1 (143 to 101), at a slightly lower score (8.6 to 8.7).
This resort is ideal for couples seeking a quiet, child-free coastal escape. Guests give it good marks on Booking, and it offers direct access to a private beach area alongside a tranquil adults-only atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a year-round outdoor swimming pool and take in sea views from public spaces. For those planning a stay, note that the property has a secluded location away from nightlife, and there is limited on-site dining variety.

How we chose these hotels
At our latest review (August 2026) we measured 3 luxury and premium properties for this destination against the same standard: sustained guest scores on both Booking.com and Google — weighted by how many reviews sit behind them — five-star class or an equivalent premium level, a genuinely first-rate location, and facilities that set the hotel apart. 2 made the cut and are listed above.
As a guideline we look for around 8.5 or higher on Booking.com, but no single number decides on its own — when the sources disagree, the broader evidence wins. Guest scores on this page update continuously, and the selection is re-reviewed at regular intervals. The full standard is described in how we choose hotels.
