Surrounded by comfortable sun loungers, the outdoor pool offers the perfect escape for relaxation after a day of exploring the town, whether you prefer soaking up the sun or cooling off with a refreshing drink.

When lunchtime comes around, if you’d rather not stray too far from your favourite sun lounger, the poolside bar has you covered with light snacks and refreshing drinks. As for dinner, it’s just a 10-minute stroll into Santa Maria, where you can explore the local tavernas and indulge in Cape Verdean favourites like grilled lobster, tuna steaks, or cachupa, the island’s signature slow-cooked stew.
Staying at Hotel Da Luz is a dream for those who love easy-going island vibes. With stunning beaches and Santa Maria’s lively town centre just minutes away, you’ll find it’s easy to switch from urban explorer to beach bum in no time. It’s the kind of place where your toughest decision is whether to work on your tan or grab another drink – and to be honest, you can do both!
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.
