Welcome to Boa Vida Rote! We are a small family with a four-year-old child, inspired by our passion for surfing and nature. After falling in love with this island, we’ve created a place we would love to visit ourselves. My husband, an architect, designed the spaces, and with my background in hotel management, we’ve combined our experiences to offer something truly special. Most of the year, we’re on the island, but when we’re away, our manager and staff will be here to ensure your stay is unforgettable. Together with our amazing team, we make this dream a reality, and we can’t wait to share the beauty of Rote Island with you.

Perched on the pristine Rote Island, Boa Vida Rote redefines luxury as a return to nature, offering guests a tranquil escape from the modern world. With a stunning hilltop location overlooking a marine reserve, the property provides direct access to a serene white sand beach and a unique cove below. The cove is a rare gem, where swimming is possible at any tide—an extraordinary feature along this coastline. Don’t forget to bring your book for a peaceful afternoon of reading in the shade of the cove’s hidden caves, a perfect spot to unwind. The resort features nine thoughtfully designed accommodations, including two spacious family houses and five private bungalows. Each space balances privacy and comfort, seamlessly blending into the natural surroundings. Open-air common areas invite guests to relax, dine, or participate in yoga and other wellness activities, creating a harmonious connection to nature. Rote Island offers endless opportunities for adventure. Guests can snorkel directly in front of the resort, kayak through turquoise mangroves, or explore deserted islands with hidden caves and natural pools. For diving enthusiasts, the vibrant coral reefs and the chance to encounter majestic whale sharks make for unforgettable underwater experiences. The island’s charm extends to its people—the Rotinese, whose warmth and hospitality create an atmosphere of peace and safety. As night falls, stargazing under the island’s clear, unpolluted skies is a magical experience that guests will cherish. Above all, Boa Vida Rote is about making guests feel at home. The team makes its best effort to provide personalized attention, ensuring every guest enjoys a truly beautiful and meaningful experience.
