Sal island
With a mild climate year-round, white sandy beaches, and crystal-clear waters, the island of Sal is the ideal destination for sea, sun, and water sports enthusiasts.
Of volcanic origin, with an area of just over 200 square kilometers (about 30 km long and 3 to 12 km wide), Sal Island is the tourism hub of the Cape Verde archipelago.
Sal, along with the islands of Santo Antao, São Vicente, Santa Luzia, São Nicolau, and Boa Vista, forms part of the “windward” islands of the Cape Verde archipelago. Also known as the “flat” island, it is mostly flat with its highest point, Monte Verde, standing at only 400 meters in height
The capital is Espargos, where the international airport is located and where the residence and life of the local population are concentrated.
The airport is about 15 km from Santa Maria, the charming tourist town located just a stone’s throw from its namesake beach. With its 12 km length, soft white sand, and azure blue ocean, Santa Maria’s beach steals the heart of anyone who lays eyes on it.
An unmissable place for every visitor to Sal Island is the Pedra De Lume salt flats, about 5 kilometers from Espargos.
The Pedra di Lume salt flats lie inside the crater of an extinct volcano and until the end of the 20th century represented the main activity of the eponymous village.
Today, they are a must-visit, offering the ancient charm of a place rich in history and the opportunity to bathe in saltwater pools.
The natural pools of Buracona, carved into volcanic rock, now house the famous “Blue Eye” that appears every day at noon when the sun’s rays strike the crystal-clear azure waters of the ocean inside a cavity in the volcanic rock.
Visitors can also swim, relax, snorkel, and dive, discovering numerous fish species.
Get ready to experience the famous phenomenon of the Blue Eye.
Don’t miss the port of Palmeira, the Bay of Murdeira, and the beaches of Algodeiro, Kite Beach, and Santa Maria… the cradle of tourism, where the real estate investments that Sal Property offers are located.
