Progress at White Sands Hotel & Spa

White Sands Hotel & Spa in Boa Vista is a major development for The Resort Group PLC. Construction is coming along on schedule and properties are already being sold off-plan as work continues on site.

Some properties are expected to be completed by the end of 2016 and there are up to 150 people working to make this happen with six cranes, three telehandlers, one excavator and four trucks available to help them.

As it was on Sal when The Resort Group PLC arrived to build the first development, MELIÃ Tortuga Beach Resort, assets can be hard to come by. Resourceful as ever, the construction team has meticulously planned it so staff and imports are available and contractors have been purchased accordingly, minimising any problems on site. There are also plans to relocate resources from Sal Island once the construction projects there have been completed.

David Dumble, International Sales Director at The Resort Group PLC, commented, “During our most recent inspection tour to Boa Vista, we were amazed at the amount of construction achieved since the official ground breaking event. Standing on the plot and looking out over the stunning Santa Monica Beach is truly unbelievable and a proud moment. It takes me back to the early days of Ponta Preta Beach on Sal Island during the initial stages of construction on our first Resort. The feedback from potential investors is always very positive and that’s supported by what we have achieved on Sal, not only with MELIÃ Tortuga Beach Resort but also MELIÃ Dunas Beach Resort & Spa and the soon to open Llana Beach Hotel. The future of Boa Vista is looking very bright.”

White Sands Hotel & Spa is one of six developments that will eventually be built on Boa Vista, seeking to replicate the success of the Resorts on Sal Island. It’s a stunning island to visit, surrounded by soft beaches, interesting wildlife and a vibrant culture. The development, which will sit on the beautiful Santa Maria beach, will be split into family and adult-only sections, ensuring that all guests enjoy the highest quality of service tailored to their individual needs. The family orientated facilities include two separate children’s pools, a baby pool and adventure playground as well as a kids club for entertainment day and night. There is also a wet bar and poolside restaurant serving up first-class refreshments throughout the day.

There are a variety of properties still available to buy off plan, from premium Deluxe Suites with panoramic sea views and Deluxe Swim-Up Suites that have a private garden to stunning vistas from the Beach Front Suites and the spacious Penthouses. The full range offers a diverse selection of properties designed for all budgets and tastes.
