After an extensive renovation, Riu Hotels & Resorts has reopened its Riu Karamboa property, located in the Atlantic Ocean resort island of Boa Vista, in Cape Verde, West Africa. Hotel offers new services, spaces and design while preserving its character thanks to features like its emblematic domes.
According to a press release, the 5-star hotel is now in an adults only property, completing Riu’s offerings on the island. The statement adds that after the renovation, the new Riu Karamboa offers its guests two major attractions in terms of leisure.
On the one hand, they’ll be able to attend the famous Riu Get Together Party held at the bar and lounge, which are also available to Riu Palace Boavista guests. On the other, guests of both hotels will also have access to Splash Water World.
The press statement adds that the hotel’s main building has a spectacular lobby with a characteristic traditional style and much more natural light inundating the space. The hotel has expanded the number of rooms, now totalling 921, of which 67 are swim-up. All of them are completely remodelled with a fresh, inviting style.
Although the restaurant area has had a facelift, the hotel has expanded its culinary offerings, adding “Kulinarium” and an Italian restaurant, Toscana. Hotel guests will be able to enjoy unlimited food thanks to its 24-hour All-Inclusive service.
The outside boasts a new solarium and five new pools with incredible ocean views, one of them dedicated to entertainment and sports. Additionally, Riu Karamboa has a RiuFit area, a RiuArt area and an extensive entertainment programme for adults with day and night activities.
The statement says that the hotel’s sustainability measures notably include installation of solar panels on the hotel roof to generate solar power, which provides much of the energy the hotel needs to operate.
Riu offers a comprehensive experience at this destination and has a total of six hotels between the island of Sal and Boa Vista. The hotels on the former include Riu Cabo Verde, Riu Funana and Riu Palace Santa Maria. On the latter, there is Riu Touareg, Riu Palace Boavista and the newly reformed Riu Karamboa.
