Where to Stay in Boa Vista

Boa Vista offers a mix of all-inclusive beach resorts and smaller guesthouses, with Sal Rei being the most practical base for divers. The all-inclusive resorts along the coast offer comfort but are somewhat isolated from local culture. Sal Rei town provides more character with restaurants, a small harbour, and dive operators within walking distance. Rabil near the airport offers convenient access for short stays. Advance booking is essential during whale watching season from February to May when the island fills with visitors.
