Every year, November is one of the months we look forward to most! It’s not quite Christmas, but almost, and it’s Black Friday month! This makes it the perfect time to get a head start on buying gifts or book that trip you’ve always wanted to go on but which you never get around to taking.

In a world full of hustle and bustle, notifications, and material things that end up gathering dust, what could be more valuable than the gift of getting away from it all? Black Friday isn’t just for televisions or those boots in the shop window. We already have too much stuff, the best thing to do is treat your loved ones to a holiday! Don’t know where to go? We’ll help you!

Give the gift of family time at a RIU 24h All Inclusive hotel

Perhaps the time has come to plan that family trip you’ve been dreaming about. A few days to unwind, where your only worry will be choosing a sun lounger or deciding which restaurant to try. In addition to creating unforgettable memories.

Cape Verde could be the perfect choice for a family vacation, especially if you’re looking for a destination that combines sun, beautiful beaches, and an extra dose of adrenaline.

On the Island of Sal, we have three spectacular hotels: Hotel Riu Palace Santa Maria, Hotel Riu Funana, and Hotel Riu Cabo Verde. The best part is that not only are they located right on the beach, but they also share a feature that delights both adults and children alike: Splash Water World! A water park that guarantees hours of fun with its slides, jets and pools. But the fun doesn’t end there! RIU hotels on the Island of Sal have entertainment programmes for the whole family, with activities for children, teenagers and adults.

Of course, all three hotels guarantee a unique culinary experience. There are themed restaurants that will take you on a journey through international flavours, ensuring that each dinner is a new and delicious experience for the whole family.

If this option hasn’t convinced you, don’t worry! At RIU we have countless idyllic destinations where you won’t have to worry about a thing. Just relax, go with the flow, and enjoy yourself however you like. They all guarantee you breathtaking beaches, themed restaurants, non-stop fun, water activities… and so much more! Find your ideal All Inclusive hotel in the best destinations and book your dream holiday now!

Romantic getaways with RIU

If what you want to give someone is a break just for two, where relaxation and romance take centre stage, RIU Adults Only hotels are the perfect choice. Imagine waking up unhurriedly, sipping a cocktail on a hammock by the sea, and enjoying a leisurely meal in a gourmet restaurant. This Black Friday is the time to book that peaceful sanctuary and surprise your partner! To ensure a resounding success, we propose three options:

• Party and fun: in this case, we suggest the Hotel Riu Republica in Playa Bávaro, Punta Cana. It’s an adults-only paradise, ideal for those seeking a vibrant atmosphere with adults-only water slides and pools, and top-notch dining.
• If you prefer luxury and tranquillity in Mexico: choose the Hotel Riu Palace Baja California in Los Cabos. This establishment combines exclusive service and a Pacific-facing location, perfect for a sophisticated and relaxing getaway.
• Costa Rica’s natural paradise: the Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica, located next to the beach in Guanacaste, provides a spectacular setting. Enjoy the lush vegetation and excellent All Inclusive 24h service in a calm, romantic setting.

A city break

At RIU, we’ve got our fingers in everything! We know that not everyone dreams of the Caribbean or  beaches in Africa. Sometimes, the most exciting gift is a change of pace, immersion in the culture, history, and gastronomy of a great city. Black Friday is also the ideal opportunity to book that city break you’ve been putting off.

If you’re looking for an urban destination with a touch of historical charm and spectacular views, we recommend the Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco.

Located in the heart of one of the city’s most iconic neighbourhoods, this hotel is the perfect base for visiting the famous Pier 39 with its sea lions, exploring the iconic Alcatraz, or taking the perfect photo of the Golden Gate Bridge. It offers a prime location for trying out the famous cable cars and enjoying the excellent cuisine of the bay. A gift that combines the dynamism of a metropolis with the natural and historical beauty of one of the most fascinating cities in the United States.

Now you know, with Christmas just around the corner, this is the perfect time to cross off the most important gifts from your list and get them at the best price. Visit our website, discover RIU’s Black Friday discounts and start planning your next vacation!

A gift of RIU is a gift of happiness!
