Adults-only island escape
Pulled right up to the sandy shoreline on the coast of Sal, Melia Laguna Beach Resort deals in breezy beach breaks for a grown-up (16+) crowd. And it makes a great base for discovering Cape Verde's charm, as it's just five minutes' drive from the picturesque town of Santa Maria.
So, let’s talk facilities. There are two pools – one that’s all about activities, and a second spot that’s just about relaxing. Speaking of, the spa is all about the R&R, with a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath and Jacuzzi, plus a menu of massages that might just tempt you.
Four restaurants means plenty of choice on the foodie front. The main buffet spot dishes up spreads of international fare at mealtimes with show-coking and sea-views on the side. Elsewhere you’ll find an Italian eatery, a Mediterranean restaurant, and the jewel in the crown: the Teppanyaki joint. There’s a snack bar pitched up by the pool, too, and a trio of other watering holes to ensure you’re never too far from a cocktail.
Just so you know, as Cape Verde imports some of its food and drink, your hotel may adapt its menu based on what's available. Enjoy the local flavours!
Before you fly to Cape Verde, you must register your details and pay an airport tax. It’s around €31 per person and you need to do this at least seven days before you go. You can do it at https://www.ease.gov.cv/ or find out more at https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/cape-verde/entry-requirements. If you don’t, there could be long delays at passport control when you arrive, causing you to miss your transfer. And if you miss your transfer because of this, easyJet holidays won’t be liable. We strongly recommend registering and paying before you travel to ensure a smooth start to your holiday.
What Melia Laguna Beach Resort has to offer
Upgrade to VIP Level
How does a VIP pass to the neighbouring Melia resorts sound? Melia Laguna is just one of five, so upgrading to the VIP package really does pay dividends. We’re talking loads of bars and restaurants, free entry to the beach club, a complimentary massage, and access to exclusive VIP venues. Sound good? Check out those packages here.
Relax and unwind
Unwind in the Finnish sauna, take a moment for yourself in the steam room, or go all out and treat yourself to a massage – the choice is yours. With a menu that ticks off aromatherapy massages, hot stone numbers, and more, you’ll feel that stress melt away in no time. There’s a beauty centre, too, for all the facials your heart desires.
A feast for the senses
From feasting on themed buffets at the main restaurant to tucking into a plate of classic Italian fare at one of the à la carte spots, your taste buds are in for a treat here. But the real star of the show is the Teppanyaki restaurant – open five nights per week with a menu of Asian specialties, fresh sushi, and more.
