Choosing the right option

Apartment or apart-hotel? The two options compared.

Both let you buy a property on Boa Vista, but they meet very different needs. Here is how to find your way.

Which option best suits your goals?

Some people want to buy a home to use themselves, let it out when they are not using it and manage their investment independently. Others prefer a simpler solution, with professional management. That is why it is important to understand the differences before choosing.

Why many investors choose the apart-hotel format on Boa Vista

Investing in property should not turn into a second job. The apart-hotel format is designed for those who want to buy a real property and hand over the day-to-day running to a professional operator.

Guaranteed income of 5–6%

Covered by a bank guarantee

No “maybe”, no returns tied to how holiday lettings perform. The project provides an annual income guaranteed by contract and protected by a bank guarantee: 5% if you use the suite for 4 weeks a year, 6% if you leave it let all year round. It offers greater predictability than traditional holiday lettings.

Property in your name

A real property, registered in your name

You are not buying a share or taking part in a financial investment. You become the full owner of your suite, free to use it, sell it or leave it to your heirs.

No management on your part

The hotel takes care of it

Bookings, guests, cleaning, maintenance and day-to-day operations are entrusted to hospitality professionals. You keep ownership of the property without having to deal with the daily running.

Personal use

Your suite awaits you on Boa Vista

Beyond the investment, you can stay in your property for 4 weeks a year and enjoy first-hand one of Cape Verde’s most popular holiday destinations.

Geographical diversification

Outside your home property market

More and more investors are choosing to diversify part of their wealth into international markets. Today Boa Vista is a growing destination, in a setting geared towards tourism development and property investment.

Questions about the two formats

Do I need to move to Cape Verde to invest?

No. The project is also designed for people who live in the UK or elsewhere in Europe and wish to make a property investment in Cape Verde without relocating. Day-to-day management is entrusted to professionals based on the island.

Do I have to deal with guests and bookings myself?

No. Bookings, guest reception, cleaning, maintenance and the running of the property are handled by the resort’s professional team. The investor keeps ownership of the property without the day-to-day management.
