Riu KaramboaBoa Vista, Cape Verde

Framed by sand dunes and hugging Praia de Salines Beach, The Riu Karamboa has a real desert oasis feel to it. Looks-wise, the spacious property is reminiscent of a sultan’s palace – expect domed ceilings and arched windows. Everything from the suite rooms – with their separate lounge areas and dark-wood furnishings – to the sprawling pool area lives up to the hotel’s 5-star standards.

There's a large swimming pool with a built-in whirlpool bath and a handy swim-up bar, framed with terraces studded with palms and sunbeds. Praia de Salines Beach is this hotel’s next door neighbour. Its flat sands roll out for miles, encountering tiny beach bars and top snorkelling spots on the way.

There’s plenty of choice on the food front, with an international buffet and three themed restaurants to pick from. The latter specialise in Asian, African and Cape Verdian cuisine. Stained glass and spiralling columns characterise the Morabeza bar. The other five bars are equally grand, especially the swim-up one with its triple-domed roof.
