Firstly, it has to be a place that represents all that Cape Verde stands for – relaxation in an idyllic hideaway, where the beaches soothe your soul, the sun heats your passion for life and the warm waters wash away all your tensions. It’d need to be a place that reflects the traditional ‘Morabeza’ attitude of the Cape Verdians – welcoming, friendly and comfortable.

You’d need plenty of bars and restaurants on hand to serve up freshly-caught seafood prepared with an African twist and the easy accessibility and adventure that Cape Verde offers – from sensual spa therapies to retail therapy; from swinging your driver on the 1st hole to a thirst-quenching drink in the 19th hole – and you’d also need an onsite concierge service catering for your every whim, whether you require an airport limousine service, restaurant reservations, a luxurious boat hire or simply a serene fishing trip to be arranged.

Finally, it’d have to be a place that boasts the best location that money can buy.

Rosa del Mar is all these things, and plenty more.

Overlooking the 200-berth marina which boasts up to a 100metre mooring for some of the worlds largest luxury super yachts on one side and the exquisite beach-trimmed coastline to the other, Rosa del Mar is the leading development in Porto Murdeira – an all-encompassing 5-star resort which is spread throughout the resort’s best positioned plots.
