United KingdomAfter a week in the Hotel I can say this is a secret people will be lucky to discover. The island is the most stunning place in the world (I’ve never seen landscape like this in my life) but RM Green Hotel is also unlike anything even on this island: a remote, private, place to stay staffed with simply wonderful, kind people.
Although it is not easy to get to the island or to the hotel (there is no airport), Irene was attentive, quickly responding to my messages on Booking.com to help before I arrived. The journey to the hotel is crazy, and finally the last road to the hotel is something you will never forget (perhaps the steepest in your life!!).
The huts are simple but very private with their own terrace space and seating, facing into cliffs and across the Atlantic. I had the best view of sunset in the hotel. The huts are completely furnished with their own bathroom. The bed is a very peaceful, with a separate sofa and desk. The WiFi is unique to each hut and fast.
I booked both breakfast and dinner - the hotel is remote with nowhere close without taxi each way - it’s somewhere you want to return to and stay after a long day. The staff are amazing in both morning and evening. Breakfast is full of fresh foods and drinks, all facing the Atlantic. I took food for my hikes in the mountains.
At sunset after amazing scenery and experiences, I’d return and shower and use the infinity pool in the clouds to relax. I could choose any meal which they would cook for me and a drink from the bar too. All of the staff were so friendly, sometimes visiting my hut after I relaxed to say hello and take my dinner order ahead.
Visiting Santo Antão is different to any experience in my life. The island is remote and you must be happy to walk and explore in difficult terrain and complex routes between even nearby villages. Everyone on this island is so friendly and kind, but best of all was being able to return to the private luxury of RM Green Hotel.
