Outside the property The terra cotta tiled terrace and small garden surrounds two sides of the property. Coffee (or something a little stronger) can be served through the window directly from the kitchen to the terrace. At night the garden and entrance are lit with attractive ground lighting. There are a number of building projects some finished and some not. At the time of writing there are uninterrupted views to the north but it is expected that some of this land will eventually be built on. Three very different beaches are within walking distance (see below for info on the beaches). The shops are close (about 5 min walk) and are a little hard to find. Each shop is small, well hidden and stocks something different from the last. Look out for the bakery where they make scrumptious freshly baked bread and some local coconut buns that the local kids queue up for. At the time of writing a new commercial area of ‘more modern’ shops and restaurants is being built nearby. The Beaches The property is on a peninsula of land, the sea is to the north east and to the south. As the prevailing wind comes from the north east the beach (seen from the balcony) is a wind swept and rugged. The area surrounding the beach has been protected from further building and is bordered by sand dunes. Not ideal for swimming due to the surf and rocks, it is however; used for kite surfing and the dunes are used quad biking. The northern beach is 20 min walk. 500M to the south is Antonio Souza Beach, less than 5 min walk. It is a quiet beach with a mix of rocks and sand. It much more sheltered as it’s protected from the prevailing wind. Antonio Souza Beach and Santa Maria main beach are divided by a little harbor and restaurant where you can eat freshly caught fish and lobster overlooking the sea. Just on the other side of the restaurant is Santa Maria main beach, it is enormous and probably the best beach in Cape Verde. It stretches for several miles and has a number of beach front restaurants and activities. To walk the start of Santa Maria beach is about 7min to walk to the other end will take you an hour at least! Directions From Sal international airport you will need to take a cab to Santa Maria. It should cost you about ¤10. The journey to Santa Maria should take about 20 minuets. Ask the driver to take you to Antonio Souza Beach (left as you come into the town heading east) La Praia is three streets back, more or less behind the Cabo Verde Palace and close to the Sab Sab hotel.

Town: Cape Verde, Santa maria, Santa mariaDescription of Sal IslandAn international airport makes Sal one of the major gateways to the Cape Verde islands; plus the abundance of magnificent white sand beaches and guaranteed sun has turned Sal into a major tourist destination. Santa Maria bay is a horse shoe shape with La Praia and the new town (the quiet end) at one end and lots of restaurants and bars in the middle. At the other end is a big sandy peninsula where you will find the extra ordinary 5 * Riu hotel. Arguably Sal is the most cosmopolitan island in the archipelago, with a choice of bars, clubs and restaurants. Freshly caught fish is always on the menu – tuna steaks, lobster, and swordfish – cooked to a local recipe. Places to visit include the Pedro Lume salt mines – dramatically contained inside the vast crater of a long extinct volcano – the saliency level is on a par with the Dead Sea and is worth experiencing for a weightless float.
