Santa Maria Beach Hotel  

The Aparthotel Santa Maria is a simple, small hotel that somehow manages to capture something about Sal Island in its walls. Maybe it's the bright, airy interiors that remind you of the warm sunshine of Santa Maria? Maybe it's because it's the small size and intimate feel of the hotel that mirrors the friendly faces that fill Cape Verde? Or maybe it's the fact that you can step from your room out onto your private balcony and look out across the sparkling sea and glorious white sands that make up Santa Maria beach? It's undoubtedly this kind of beauty that has kept people coming to the Cape Verde Archipelago for centuries, although there's more ways to make the most of it now then there was when the Portuguese discovered them many moons ago. Now you can dive under the waves to explore the stunning marine life, you can skim across the sea by windsurfing or you can simply snuggle into the soft sand for a day in the sun. The beach is just 100 metres away and what's more you're only minutes from the centre of the resort, where you can organise a range of excursions across the island's sand dunes or out to sea. If you want to get away from the fussiness and fullness of everyday life, this is the place to come.
