First impression inside Riu Funana is of an elegant open-air lobby with Mediterranean-style floor tiles and African decor. This spectacular reception is home to several “themed” restaurants specialising in both Cape Verdean and international cuisine. From the outside, the hotel has a very “Moorish” and “Palatial” feel and is situated on the south western point of Sal, where the white sands meet the tropical turquoise waters just beneath the magnificent sand dunes of Ponta Preta, and just west of the touristic town of Santa Maria.
The beaches are fantastic, and the crystal clear waters excellent for windsurfing, kitesurfing, diving and much more.
Spacious, “Aztec” styled rooms with large bathrooms are standard, with suites available, and the hotel boasts an extensive Moroccan-inspired ‘Renova Spa’ experience.
Riu Funana hotel represents luxury in Cape Verde.
