About

Created by British entrepreneur Tim Strawson and his family, Tarafo Bay is for people who share Tim’s philosophy of Dream Big, Live Life and Give Back to the environment and the local community.

 “My family and I fell in love with the tropical island of Boa Vista on our very first visit back in 2007. It really is one of the world’s best-kept holiday secrets, with its pristine beaches, all-year sunshine, and wonderfully friendly people.

We always dreamt that one day we would create a golf and beach resort for a new generation, with sustainability, affordable luxury and active living at its heart. Now our dream is about to come true with the launch of Tarafo Bay Golf & Beach Resort in Autumn 2027.”

Boa Vista

Boa Vista is one of Europe’s closest tropical islands, just four hours from Lisbon and six from London, whilst being on the same latitude as Barbados. With temperatures between 22 to 30º every day, it’s an exceptional destination for an active lifestyle and to unwind in an unspoilt environment.

As part of Cape Verde, the island benefits from the beautiful archipelago’s safe and welcoming atmosphere, with friendly locals and a culture of warmth and hospitality. Cape Verde is also known for its stable economy, making it an attractive option for investment.

“With its world-class golf, sports, experiences and amenities, Tarafo Bay will not only attract international visitors but ensure that the local economy benefits from a diversified range of tourism opportunities.”
