Boa Vista Windsurfing Holiday Overview
Boa Vista, which is Portuguese for Good View is home to some of the most stunningly beautiful beaches on the Cape Verde archipelago, covering a staggering 55km. Most of the accommodations are generously spread out of the West Coast beach, stretching out from the town of Sal Rai over a 10km stretch. When booking a holiday in Boa Vista, it is very important to get the right hotel close to the right windsurf location. This is where we come in. If you book with Planet, we will ensure you get the best location. We also have exclusive access to the most professional and best-located windsurf school on the island.
Nightlife here is very low key and quiet with just a scattering of local restaurants and beach bars playing live music; a perfect place to chill out after a hard day on the water!

We lose sleep so you don’t.
We take every booking personally. This is what that means once your windsurf holiday is booked.
Your money is held in trust
Everything you pay goes into a trust account, separate from our business, and stays there until after your holiday. If we ever stopped trading, it would come back to you.
Booked and checked before you fly
Flights, transfers, the room you chose, your board and sail hire or lessons. All of it is confirmed before you leave home, and the transfer company's drivers turn up and speak English.
A phone call before you go
Documents, visas, whether to take your own board or hire one. If something is on your mind, ask. You'll be talking to the person who booked your trip.
WhatsApp, day and night
Late transfer, wrong room, hire kit that isn't what you asked for. Message or call one number at any hour, and the person who answers knows your holiday.
Talk to a windsurfer who knows the spots.
Tell us when you can go, what you sail and whether you're after flat water or waves. You'll get a shortlist of spots and hotels back, usually within one working day.
