Your Boa Vista Hotel

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication

SPINGUERA ECOLODGE

An ecological and charming hotel for your holidays in Cape Verde

Where once there were only vestiges and memories of past experiences, in 2007 an ecological and charming tourist village was born.

Spinguera Ecolodge is the result of several years of meticulous restoration work of an old village – slowly abandoned between the 70s and 80s -, where local fishermen, farmers and goat breeders lived.

We are a private business project, but one that prioritizes social impact, environmental preservation and appreciation of local cultures and traditions. We fully comply with the principles of sustainable development.

If you are looking for an alternative to mass tourism, then we are the ideal destination for your holidays. Spinguera Ecolodge offers you the opportunity to distance yourself from today’s fast-paced virtual world and immerse yourself in the past, feel nature, experience the uncommon and simplicity as a source of happiness.

A familiar and intimate atmosphere awaits you. Privacy and personalized service go hand in hand and are natural resources and never additional services. Each guest is special, and everyone deserves our best attention.

Not infrequently, you may have the feeling that the space is reserved exclusively for you. When that happens, you will probably already be connected to the sounds of silence and nature, which defines us.

At Spinguera you will find time and space to feel and experience all your emotions.

COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

Responsibility and social impact

Spinguera Ecolodge was born out of love for this land and its people.
We are convinced that there is no harmonious tourism without the effective inclusion of local communities. We preferably recruit local people. All of our 15 employees are from or live in the neighboring village of Bofareira.
We promote professional development, seeking to hire the most qualified staff. But we also give attention and opportunities to those who, for whatever reason, are still not properly trained to work in tourism, or are living in a situation of vulnerability and economic and social exclusion.

We seek to boost the local economy. Our purchases are made, whenever possible, directly from local businesses. We also encourage our guests to visit and interact with local communities.
In addition to being fully integrated into the surrounding natural landscape, the project has always been based on the traditional concepts and values of the architecture of the island of Boa Vista.

Reduction of the ecological footprint

We embrace the challenge of sustainable development. The impact of human action on the environment is never zero. However, we continually seek to minimize our ecological footprint, and we encourage our customers and partners to do the same.

Our location favors contact with nature and biodiversity, and we promote the environmental sustainability of our planet through the adoption of best practices, such as the use of renewable energy sources, the rational consumption of water and energy and the proper management of waste.

When.

The best time of year to visit the island of Boa Vista depends on your motivations and preferences.

The chance of rain is higher between July and October, but Boa Vista sometimes goes more than a year without significant rain.
Sea water is usually at an excellent temperature all year round.
