Viveiro Golf Resort & Country club

Nestled amidst the sun-kissed dunes of Sal Island in Cape Verde, the Viveiro Golf & Country Club is a golfer’s paradise, offering an unforgettable experience that merges the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean with the challenge of a desert landscape. This 9-hole, par-35 golf course spans approximately 2,800 meters, creating an oasis of greenery and excitement in an otherwise arid environment.

Imagine teeing off surrounded by swaying palm trees, with a breathtaking 300-degree view of the azure Atlantic Ocean as your backdrop. The most distinctive feature of this unique golf course is the ever-present wind, which adds an exhilarating challenge to your game. From October to March, the Alisei winds blow from the southern Sahara, bringing an unforgettable and thrilling twist to your golfing experience.

Beyond the course, the Viveiro Golf & Country Club boasts a fully-equipped practice area, including a 300-meter driving range with obstacles, a pitching green, and a putting green. High-quality rental equipment is available, such as bags, clubs, trolleys, and electric golf carts, alongside convenient facilities like changing rooms, restrooms, and a cozy bar/restaurant to unwind after a day on the greens.

The creation of this golf course on Sal Island is a testament to overcoming the impossible. With scarce rainfall and limited freshwater, developing a lush golf course seemed like a far-fetched dream. However, the ingenious design of the course limits grass to the game areas, with the surrounding moonlike red, grey, and brown soil blending seamlessly with the vibrant greenery of palm trees, aloe vera, and cacti.
