Seasonal
Your home is offered for rent during Barefoot Luxury's high and low seasons, outside your reserved personal stays.
Revenue split defined together at the signing of the mandate.
— Hotel rental program
Your home in Cabo Verde, alive even when you're away.
Become an owner in Baía de João d'Évora and let Barefoot Luxury take care of your villa so it can be lived in., welcomed and generate income, in the manner of a traveller who leaves the door open to others.
A home that belongs to you. Hospitality that never stops.
Villas in rental management currently achieve a 60% occupancy rate
On the bay of Baía de João d'Évora, a handful of private homes share the same sand, light and art of living as our lodges and villas. The Hotel Rental Program allows owners who wish to entrust their home to the Barefoot Luxury team, between two stays, so it may be rented, maintained and cared for with the same attention as our own properties.
You keep ownership, freedom to stay whenever you wish, and the peace of mind of knowing your home is in the right hands, the same ones who have been welcoming our guests since day one.
An approach inspired by the great international hotel brands that pair private residences with professional hospitality management: ownership stays personal, the experience becomes collective.

Three ways to experience the island
Hike, e-bike or e-bicycle
Probably the best way to discover the outstanding beauty of São Vicente and Santo Antão. From canyons to volcanoes, from ocean cliffs to authentic village. Some of the places we take you to are protected by UNESCO as sites of outstanding universal value.
Surf, kite-surf or body board
For those who like to stay salty. That pioneer sensation of finding unspoiled locations an uncovered ocean break, waiting to be ridden, is what we want you to feel.
Mindelo & Santo Antão discovery
The Cabo Verdean culture is rich, alive and vibrates through its people, food, colours, music and craftsmanship. Discover the cultural capital of the archipelago by meeting its protectors and main actors, in the marvellous Mindelo.
