If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay during your family holiday to Cape Verde, we would recommend the Hotel RIU Palace Santa Maria.

Rooms come with a balcony or terrace, air-con, a TV, a safe and a minibar. Family rooms and adult-only swim-up rooms are also available. All rooms also come with an in-room drinks optic – meaning you’ll have your very own branded premium spirits on tap in your room.
