Cala da Lua Apartments

Great place to unwind A bit of a hidden gem. Had a great stay here. Alberto was very welcoming on check in. Had a secluded feel about the place which was exactly what I was looking for. The apartment itself was very spacious and home like. Short walk from the beach where there were a few beach bars/restaurant. Towards the centre you will find a number of different supermarkets and restaurants. Recommended!

Great hosts, great, friendly team. (Lots of advice on where to go and restaurants). Wonderful apartment (had a penthouse terrace) Walkable to beach and main town. Very safe. Great breakfast Room had a kettle which I loved !! Would highly recommend (especially if you like water sports as centres very close by )

È disarmante accorgersi che la semplicità è complice della dedizione a ciò che si ama. Con la simpatia di Alberto e l'eleganza di Monica che gestiscono Cala da Lua con piglio e mano sicura, hai il privilegio di frequentare un ambiente cordiale e famigliare. Ritornarci dopo 8 anni, ha confermato che la fortuna aiuta gli audaci "Un turista per caso "

Très bon accueil, appartement spacieux

After Covid, I am resuming my travels. Now single :-) ... I wanted to tick "surfing" of my bucket list and looked for a real sufer spot. Something individual. If you come here, you know where you are going. Boa Vista is a small island with a few thousand inhabitants and about 4 larger hotels south of the island. Sal Rei is the (roughly 7,000 ppl) capital of the island and basically consists of a few houses and 5 beach bars. Cala da Lua is run by Alberto and his wife and about 150m from the beach. I chose this hotel because the pictures and feedback of the PlanetAllSports surf schools showed positive vibes. If you want to be welcome and get local tips, have a host, who cares and if you are aware that you are going to a 3rd world country - Cala da Lua is the perfect home for you. Alberto and his wife will take care of you. Get you a driver, a quad, organize everything you need. The Internet was too slow for me, Alberto got me a new LTE hotspot quickly (which you can now use, too, if you need 5MB+ to work)... There are 2-3 locations closer to the beach, but the penthouse suites with Cala da Lua are so big and beautiful, you will not leave too often. Wish I would have been here with friends... Wonderful spot, great people. And good breakfast!
