Group specialises in predicting future touristic hot spots and finding great locations for development. It has successfully completed a number of prime-beachfront-location projects and has recently moved from operating and management agreements with an international brand to directly controlling its resorts’ management.

The group’s first project in Cape Verde, Melia Tortuga, has enjoyed significant success since its launch in 2011, ranking as the World Travel Awards’ Cape Verde Leading Hotel for five years. It also won the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence and the TUI Family Champion Award, in 2013 and 2018 respectively.

Melia Dunas, which opened its doors in November 2014, was the second project undertaken by The Resort Group in Cape Verde. With over 1,200 rooms, the resort is ranked as the largest on the whole African continent and was the winner of the Best Hotel in Cape Verde accolade at the 2015 Hotel of the Year Awards.

With The Resort Group’s five resorts having generated almost 2,000 jobs for local people, the company’s impact on the economy in Cape Verde has been unprecedented. Its success reflects founder Rob Jarrett’s mission to bring the natural beauty of the country to the world’s attention and his belief in Cape Verde’s world-class potential as a tourist destination.
