The Viveiro Golf & Country Club is the first sustainable green golf course in Cape Verde, with a Golf Club that is only 500 metres away from the MELIÃ Tortuga Beach Resort & Spa . It is a 9-hole course, Par 35, with a length of approximately 2,800m. This golf course is an oasis in the desert. It is surrounded by palm trees and with a 300º view to the Atlantic Ocean. It is the first golf course with real grass in Cape Verde.

Santa Maria, which is less than 10 minutes from the resort by taxi, has many fabulous bars and restaurants, day or night there is always somewhere to be entertained, from daytime beach activities to night time live music and many nightclubs.

Sal Island, one of the Barlavento Islands, is a charming island nation off the African west coast. Cape Verde is great for holidays in the sun. Beautiful white sand beaches and clear blue waters awaits you on Boa Vista, Sal and other stunning Cape Verde islands.

Sailing, windsurfing, kite-surfing and fishing are some enjoyable activities available to visitors to Cape Verde.

Scuba divers will be enthralled by Cape Verde’s wrecks, caves and wildlife including sea turtles and manta rays.

Zipline Cabo Verde is an incredible attraction !!! A unique excursion in the whole Island of Sal and is a mix of adrenaline, beautiful landscapes, sports and fun. Recommended to everyone without age limits !!! Suitable for children, families, friends, couples, the elderly and disabled people. Zipline Cabo Verde is the most beautiful experience to try in Cape Verde. With Zipline Cabo Verde you fly for more than 1000 meters at a speed of over 100 Km / h from the desert to the ocean!!! It is not only adrenaline, but the complete excursion allows you to discover the spectacular landscape of the Serra Negra nature reserve and have fun with the guides and specialized operators who will assist you throughout the experience.

There are many other places of interest including the Fortaleza del Real Felipe, built in the 16th century, which is a restored Spanish fort overlooking Santiago’s Cidade Velha. Grand Mount Fogo, Cape Verde’s tallest peak, offers intrepid climbers amazing panoramic views from its summit. Unspoilt Brava, smallest of the islands, contains an incredible wealth of diverse wildlife in its expansive forests.

If lounging on balmy tropical beaches is your thing, Sal delivers big time. The most tourist-oriented Cape Verde island, this stunning gem is encircled by dazzling white sands and turquoise waters, creating an idyllic playground for sun and surf fanatics. There's a myriad of ocean-going pursuits to enjoy, from snorkelling and diving amid waters alive with tropical fish, to exhilarating deep-sea fishing, windsurfing and kite-surfing. You must go to Kite beach, if not to participate, it is still a great place for the spectator.

The main hotspot of Santa Maria has friendly cafes, bars, surf shops and restaurants and for more adventure, take a Jeep safari through the surreal desert landscape to wow at the volcanic crater of Pedra da Lume and the astonishing ocean-mirage at Terra Boa. By night, Santa Maria swings into action, with a cavalcade of morna-playing bars, mouth-watering fish restaurants and a cluster of discos to keep you up late.

You really feel safe and relaxed here. The locals are charming, shy and very friendly and they go out of their way to help.

Try the restaurants on nearby Ponta Preta Beach or Angulo Windsurfing and Kitesurfing Centre for lunch. Africa + SAB, in Santa Maria (especially for their tuna steak dinner) or the Agua Hotels Sal Vila Verde Hotel's a la carte restaurant, Restaurante Karavela, that offers you a very different but fantastic dining experiences for a night out.

About the host

Hosted by Denis Lindsay

Host profile image
We are a family of 4, that includes 2 young adults who have been vacationing in Cape Verde for over a decade . We have always travelled, with extensive vacations all across the Caribbean (e.g. Grenada, Tobago, St Kitts, Antigua, Bahamas, St Lucia, Barbados, Jamaica etc, etc) as well as across the USA, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, France etc.

As such, we wanted to procure a home away from home that we could frequently visit but experience the same levels of enjoyment as we were always used to.

I am the COO of the first dedicated, ethically compliant investment platform connecting ethical start-ups/scale-ups with like-minded investors.

However, I have spent the last couple of decades leading large scale global investment programmes involving technology change, in well- known multinational companies that were going through a business critical transformation.

I am a long standing member of the Institute of Directors and I am a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute.

Why they chose this property

We loved Cape Verde because we can revel in a Caribbean like experience but without the jet lag. At the time that we purchased the property there was a lot of buzz around the development community about the potential of Cape Verde, but the clincher for us was when the MELIÃ group decided to run the resort.

All of the marketing surrounding the buzz has materialised and there are loads more facilities and services to come.

This is a great destination and a fantastic resort.
