Picture a hotel perched on the shores of the majestic Atlantic Ocean, in front of the western coasts of Africa, surrounded by a landscape in which a group of islands of volcanic origin stand out, and where you can enjoy all kinds of comforts and services. This could well be your dream accommodation during your visit to Cape Verde, the ideal place for you to be the main protagonist of a beautiful story in an idyllic setting. We invite you to discover the Hotel Barceló Praia Cabo Verde. The rest of your personal adventure, of course, is up to you.
You should also know that this unique and modern establishment is located in an archipelago made up of ten large islands and several islets, which are divided into two areas: the Windward Islands in the north and the Leeward Islands in the south. Cape Verde is a paradise where incredible natural landscapes, stunning beaches and a rich local culture come together. And to top it all off, it has a tropical climate.

Getting to know the city of Praia
Located just ten minutes from the historic centre of Praia, the Barceló Praia Cabo Verde hotel is the ideal accommodation to immerse yourself in the tourist attractions that the country’s capital has to offer. This is the perfect time to discover the largest city of the archipelago, with 130,000 inhabitants, where the official institutions of Cape Verde are located, especially in the Plateau district, which is the most touristy area. It’s a bustling, lively and musical city with five beautiful beaches in the surrounding area: Praia Negra, Quebra Canela, Gamboa, Prainha and Praia do Portinho. It is no wonder that its name means “beach” in Portuguese.
In addition to its beaches, Praia has many other tourist attractions, such as the Dona Maria Pia Lighthouse, the Sucupira Market, the Praia Museum, the Cha de Areia, where music festivals are organised, the Pro-Cathedral of Our Lady of Grace, the Diogo Gomes Monument and the Ethnographic Museum.
Praia is also the ideal starting point for trips into the surrounding area. You should visit the Serra Malagueta Natural Park, Cidade Velha and Assomada, as well as enjoy walks through Monte Tchota or Pico d’Antónia, or plan an outing to the island of Maio.
