King Fisher Village

The exclusive King Fisher Village is in Tarrafal, on the island of Santiago, and is ideal for those in need of a luxurious break.

The King Fisher Village is one of our favourite places to stay on Santiago. There’s a lovely sheltered bay where you can safely swim and snorkel. And it’s right next to the resort. Here, the locals gather each day to meet the fishermen coming in with their early morning daily catch.

In the original buildings, the suites and double rooms all have private terraces with amazing views of a lovely small cove and the Atlantic beyond. With two bedrooms, the exclusive Seaview Suite is ideal for families or bigger parties, but even the smallest sea view double has a small fully fitted kitchen.

There are two newer blocks containing new rooms and the restaurant. Superior Sea View rooms have private balconies looking over the cove and restaurant area. Or there’s the Exclusive Sea View rooms whose private balconies immediately face the sea and are a romantic escape from the world.

Swiss chef Flavio is in charge of his onsite restaurant. Dining here on the sea front is a real sensory and culinary experience. Seated on the terrace surrounded by palms and right by the sea, fresh fish will always be on the menu as well as other delicious dishes prepared by sociable Flavio and his team. All diets are catered for here.

The village is self-sufficient with on-site renewable energy powering it’s own desalination plant to provide otherwise-scarce water to the resort. Nearby to the King Fisher Village is a great dive school where we can help arrange your snorkelling and diving trips.
