Creating places for life inspired by Cape Verde

Carquejinha Golf and Beach Resort is located on the southern coast of Boa Vista, part of the Cape Verde archipelago. JTP reimagined the Tarafo Bay accommodation offer of luxury villas, townhouses and apartments, with a vision to create a destination that feels authentic, connected and rooted in its unique setting.

Drawing on Cape Verde’s rich culture, climate and natural beauty, the design celebrates the island’s essence – its vibrant outdoor lifestyle, cooling ocean breezes and breathtaking views. Homes are carefully oriented to capture the northeast trade winds for natural ventilation, while deep terraces, shaded gardens and thoughtful landscaping provide protection from the sun and shelter from the elements. This balance of openness and comfort ensures spaces that feel both connected. Secure and maximises residential value. Each residence is designed with a view for customisation by the resident, allowing personal touches that make every home unique.
