Luanda · Soyo
Guest houses and hotels for working crews near SONILS, the Port of Luanda, the new airport and Kwanda Base, with meals and transport arranged alongside.
Fortaleza houses crews and workforces in 10 guest houses and hotels: 9 in Luanda and 1 in Soyo, with more than 500 rooms between them. It runs 9 of them itself; Viana Hotel is a partner hotel. A whole house can be reserved for one project, or rooms taken on call-out, with meals and crew transport quoted in the same proposal.
One row per house: where it is, the work site it serves, the estimated drive and its rooms.

View all propertiesFor SONILS and the Port of Luanda, 6 houses are between 5 and 20 minutes away by car. Fortaleza Guest House is the nearest, at about 5 minutes.
In Soyo, Casa Erica is about 5 minutes from Kwanda Base. Every figure is an estimate: share the work address and shift times and we help plan the journey.
Yes. Baleia Guest House (26 rooms) is one example: the entire house is reserved to one client for the length of its project, with meals included in the same contract.
Rooms can also be taken on call-out, as at Casa Erica: they are released as crews arrive, against an agreed availability, and only the rooms used are invoiced, once a month. There is no minimum stay or party size.
Every house has its own restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, and breakfast is included in the stay.
A crew on shifts does not eat on a normal timetable, so meals follow the shift: an early breakfast, a lunch that arrives at the site and a hot dinner when the cars return. Catering on site or in the field is quoted as its own line in the proposal.
Crew shuttles between the house and the work site, airport transfers and driver standby are arranged with the stay. They are charged extras, with routes, schedules and charges agreed in the proposal.
Arrivals are met at the airport and departures are timed to the flight. For a crew, one vehicle on one timetable is easier to manage than several cars.
Reception is staffed 24 hours a day at 9 of the 10 houses, and every house has security on site, generator backup and pressurised water storage for cuts in the mains power and water supply.
Housekeeping, laundry and Wi-Fi are part of the daily service. Every house works in English, Portuguese and French, and Fortaleza publishes its HSE policy for a client's safety department.
Send your headcount, work location and rotation dates. We reply within 24 hours, with a written proposal in 2–3 days: one contract, one coordinator, one invoice.
Price and conditions are confirmed in writing. US dollars and credit cards are accepted, and corporate invoicing is handled by our team.
