"This is a beautiful well maintained place to stay . We loved the comfy bed and great pillows too . There was no fridge in our room but right outside is a well stocked fridge of drinks available for purchase on honour system . We were on the top floor which had a spacious terrace with view. Pool was warm and clean . Breakfast was full of fresh local fruits , preserves , cheeses and eggs to order. Loved the coffee and fresh rolls too . But the staff are the standouts of this place . Thanks for...

Top Rui Vaz Hotel Reviews

Syds Guesthouse I

8/10 Good

"We spent 3 nights in the apartment at this guesthouse . Yes it was clean , the bed comfortable and a spacious apartment . It’s an older building that just needs a bit of upkeep . Not huge issues but light fixtures on wall in living room did not work , one was broken . The outside seating area in lovely garden setting needs more light . The outdoor string lights had only one working light that was off more than on and the motion sensor light did not work right . We sat in dark , Screen door is awkward and does not close all the way . On a positive note the breakfast is delicious and the lady who made it and served it was lovely ."

Boutique Hotel Praia Maria

10/10 Excellent

"We just stayed one night between island hopping . This delightful hotel in an older but beautifully maintained building is central on pedestrian only street . Dinner choices, shopping and groceries are all nearby . Live music entertained us on the lovely patio that looks over the street . You are about 10 min taxi ride from airport and cost is 1500 CVE (about 15€). For great coffee and ambiance including live music don’t miss Cafe Sophia."

"I was a little disappointed when I thought the room I booked had an ocean view and it did not. The building is nice, clean and staffs were friendly and courteous. Tiles on floor need to be replaced since some had cracks in them and some parts of the building can use some fresh paints. The Buffett breakfast was good."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Rui Vaz?

The best area to stay in Rui Vaz is within the village itself or on its immediate outskirts, offering the most convenient access to the area's main attractions.Rui Vaz is a small, relatively spread-out mountain village known for its cooler climate and stunning panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and coast. The village centre is modest, with a few local eateries and shops. The main draw here is the natural landscape, particularly the hiking trails that crisscross the Monte Tchota Natural Park. Accommodation typically consists of guesthouses and eco-lodges integrated into the natural environment.Couples looking for a peaceful escape and outdoor activities will find Rui Vaz ideal. Staying near the village means you're perfectly positioned for early morning hikes up Monte Tchota or exploring the nearby botanical garden. The quiet surroundings provide a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring the natural beauty of the island's interior.For those prioritising tranquillity and a connection with nature, staying slightly outside the main village, perhaps in one of the more secluded lodges, offers an even more private experience.

When is the best time to go to Rui Vaz?

The best time to visit Rui Vaz is during the dry season, which runs from November to June, offering consistently clear skies and comfortable temperatures.During these months, you'll find the weather ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the island, including the hiking trails and lush landscapes around Rui Vaz. The lack of rain means outdoor activities are rarely interrupted, making it superb for those who enjoy walking or simply relaxing outdoors.If you're a couple looking for a peaceful escape, this period is particularly good. The pleasant weather allows for romantic picnics amidst the greenery or leisurely strolls through the village without the worry of sudden downpours. The evenings are also generally mild, making dining out a comfortable experience.For solo travellers seeking adventure or a quiet retreat, the dry season offers excellent conditions for hiking up Pico da Antónia or simply enjoying the tranquil surroundings.
