Praia Cabral, Boa Vista: the beach of The View

Published 4 October 2026 · by Invest in Cape Verde

Praia Cabral is a beach in the Sal Rei area, the main town on Boa Vista. It is the site chosen for The View, the group’s new Apart-Hotel. This page explains why the area interests investors and what opportunities are available today. For everything to do with holidays, excursions and life on the island you will find information on Boavista2000.com, which also lists the homes for sale at Praia de Cabral.

Why Praia Cabral

When choosing where to build a tourist property, the location is the first decision. Praia Cabral offers a rare combination:

• the sea right in front, with the ocean as the star of the view;
• proximity to Sal Rei, with its services and everyday life;
• a setting that lets you enjoy the beach without giving up the town centre.

For buyers, this means a property in an area that combines holiday and convenience. It matters both to those who stay there and to the guests of a tourist property.

The View: an amphitheatre on the sea

On Praia Cabral The View is taking shape: an Apart-Hotel of 65 suites designed by the architect Giò Gozzi. The aim of the project was simple: to give as many suites as possible a view of the ocean. The result is a building conceived as an amphitheatre on the sea, with 98% of the suites facing the ocean.

The key facts:

• 65 suites on the beach at Praia Cabral;
• suites from €90,000;
• foundation stone laid on 4 July 2026, handover expected at the end of 2028;
• ownership registered in the buyer’s name, not a share;
• personal use of 4 weeks a year;
• management entrusted to a professional operator.

The View builds on the experience of the White Hotel, the group’s first Apart-Hotel: 69 suites sold, 100% of the units allocated, now fully operating. To understand how the format works, read what an Apart-Hotel is and the questions and answers on The View.

Not just The View: the Por do Sol suite

At Praia Cabral there is also an alternative for those who prefer a traditional property: the Por do Sol suite with pool.

• a T1 (one-bedroom), furnished;
• a terrace overlooking the pool, a few metres from the sea;
• price €90,000, a direct sale with no agency commission.

It is ready to move into, or to let out and manage yourself. Before choosing this route, read the guide on letting your own home on Boa Vista.

Same beach, two very different formats

At the same starting price you may face two very different choices:

1. A suite in an Apart-Hotel (The View): a new property, registered in your name, with professional management and 4 weeks of personal use a year. Less freedom of use, less commitment.
2. A traditional suite (Por do Sol): an existing property that you use whenever you like. More freedom, but the management is up to you.

There is no right answer for everyone. It depends on how much you want to use the property and how much time you want to devote to managing it. The comparison between an apartment and an Apart-Hotel sets the differences side by side.

Buying a property under construction

The View is a project under construction, with handover expected at the end of 2028. Buying off-plan has its advantages, but it calls for attention to the contract, timescales and safeguards.
