Spinguera Ecolodge is a highly sustainable and deeply charming ecological resort that arose from the restoration of a small fishermen’s village abandoned over 50 years ago.
The boutique hotel lives and breathes sustainable tourism, championing social impact, environmental preservation, and appreciation for local cultures and traditions.
Beautifully melting into the sunset shores of Boa Vista, each guest can enjoy an intimate and highly personalised experience in isolated luxury and connected to nature. Each room’s decor is minimal but purposeful, creating a gentle and tranquil atmosphere.
For larger groups of guests, there are also quaint and secluded villas built with natural stone that offer everything visitors may need, including a double bedroom, living area, and kitchen, as well as a blissful terrace and private relaxation area.
With breathtaking views of the ocean and spectacular views of the desert, Spinguera Ecolodge is unmissable.
