Property info

PAPAYA APARTMENTS BOA VISTA Five apartments in a stylish, uplifting building designed by Austrian architect Otto R. Barnert located by the sea with beautiful sunset views and equipped with everything necessary to enjoy a comfortable holiday on an unique island. Built in 2012 and newly refurbished and re-decorated, the spacious apartments offer a cheerful, bright and elegant atmosphere to make you feel at home, where the turquoise of the windows matches the magic blue of the ocean. All apartments enjoy nice complete furnishings: washing machine, espresso coffee machine, toaster, kettle, microwave (under request) ceiling fan, hair dryer and free high speed wifi. Do you think it is possible to enjoy high quality accommodation and wild undisturbed ecosystems? Yes, Boa Vista is that rare place where pristine nature combines with the most comfortable tourist room offer, a place where the unpolluted night sky makes you feel the most special dot in the universe. Some 150 species of birds makes Boavista a great bird watching spot. Boa vista is also the preferred nursery for the humpback whale, when they come in spring to give birth. The sight of these calm and gentle giants reminds us of the need to protect the oceans and their valuable life. Be witness, at Ervatao beach, of the magic sight of the sea turtles laying eggs and baby turtles hatching and running to the sea, an unforgettable experience that will remind you of the wonders we must conserve and respect. A walk on the Viana desert, around the magic Oasis of Fonte Vicente, a visit to Varandinha caves or a swim in the turquoise waters of St. Mónica beach will make your stay in Boavista a special and unique nature re-connecting experience. And to complete an exciting day, go star gazing to the desert, where a sky impossible to be seen in our cities will leave you speechless and amazed.
