Workation in Sal Rei: the essentials
The name means King Salt, a reminder of the industry that once kept Boa Vista going. Sal Rei is the island's main settlement, a small town of under 6,000 people in 2010 on the northwest coast, with low pastel houses around a square, a port on the bay and the islet of Ilhéu de Sal Rei just offshore. Praia de Cabral is the beach at the edge of town, while the dunes and long sands of Chaves and Santa Mónica lie further south. Wind brings kitesurfers, and turtles nest here in season. Most visitors stay in all-inclusive resorts, so the town stays quiet and monthly rentals are limited. Aristides Pereira International Airport is about 5 km away.
