Marriott International Makes its Entry into Cape Verde with the Opening of Four Points by Sheraton São Vicente Resort

 

Marriott International (www.Marriott.com) celebrates the opening of the Four Points by Sheraton São Vicente Resort (http://apo-opa.co/4tfdwkb), marking the company’s highly anticipated debut into Cape Verde. Situated above Laginha Beach within the cultural hub of São Vicente, the hotel blends resort-style relaxation with business-ready convenience on the island.

“Cape Verde is known for its vibrant spirit, natural beauty and growing global appeal, making it an exciting addition to our network of global destinations,” said Sandra Schulze-Potgieter, Vice President, Premium, Select&Midscale Brand Management, EMEA, Marriott International.  “São Vicente is the ideal destination for us to introduce Four Points by Sheraton’s first resort in the region, offering an authentic sense of place paired with breathtaking vistas along with the brand’s genuine service, comfort and modern style.”

Four Points by Sheraton São Vicente Resort is nestled within a crescent-shaped bay in Mindelo, a port city in Northern São Vicente Island known for its colorful and animated carnival celebrations.  The resort features modern design that encapsulates a relaxing summer feel throughout its public spaces and 127 spacious guestrooms and suites, which are adorned with wooden furniture, crafted light fixtures, decorative wall plates and patterned cement tile flooring.  The clean, functional aesthetics of Four Points by Sheraton are thoughtfully harmonized with the destination’s bold colors, textures, and natural elements.

The design of Four Points by Sheraton São Vicente Resort is deeply inspired by the island’s distinctive character and culture. Drawing from the weathered patina of local architecture, the vibrant rhythms of Mindelo’s renowned musical heritage, and the relaxed spirit of seaside living, the resort’s interiors have been conceived to offer an experience that feels both authentically local and effortlessly comfortable. The art collection shows a curated blend of paintings by artist Raya Salman, and photographic pieces by photographer Joe Wuerfel, whose lens has captured the essence of Cape Verde for more than 25 years. The hotel will also present select works by two Cape Verdean artists, further grounding the space in local creative expression.

Four Points by Sheraton São Vicente Resort offers direct access to the pristine waters of Laginha beach via a skybridge on the first floor, which is also home to an infinity edge pool and pool bar. Culinary offerings at the resort include Bayview, serving global flavors from sunrise to sunset; Ocean Lounge offers a vibrant, poolside social hub; and the soon-to-open Skybar provides a rooftop escape with panoramic views.  

Other facilities at the resort include a conference center with three meeting rooms and other multi-purpose spaces for events and gatherings, a fully equipped fitness center with stunning ocean and pool views and the Essência spa featuring four treatment rooms, a sauna, Turkish steam bath and jacuzzi.  The property also features Four Points by Sheraton’s signature Best Brews™ program with a local craft beer.

The opening of Four Points by Sheraton São Vicente Resort Celebrates Multiple Milestones for Marriott International:

• Marriott’s official entry into Cape Verde the company’s 500^th operating select service hotel in its EMEA region.
• The first-ever resort offering under Four Points by Sheraton in the Africa region, delivering the brand’s reliable comfort and consistent standards to travellers seeking accommodation and leisure facilities and experiences at an affordable value.

Schulze-Potgieter added, “Our select service hotels today represents more than 30 percent of our EMEA portfolio, and this 500^th milestone opening underscores the strong demand for consistent and modern hospitality in the region and reflects the power and credibility of our brands in the segment.”
