Adults-only beachfront escape
Please note that from Monday 12th October 2026, Melia Laguna Beach Resort and Melia Llana Beach Resort & Spa will become one hotel – the Melia Llana. Your room may be allocated on either side of the new complex. You'll have access to four swimming pools, two buffet restaurants, two poolside restaurants, three à la carte restaurants, and six bars. Plus, enjoy the gym, daily and nightly entertainment programme, and for an extra cost, access to the YHI Spa. For more details on the Melia Laguna facilities, check those out here.
What’s better than staying at a relaxed, stress-free resort on a tropical island? Well, how about a relaxed, stress-free resort on a tropical island that’s strictly for adults? This resort is an all-inclusive haven, located in Santa Maria on the island of Sal. Set along the Cape Verdean island’s beautiful coastline, its prime beachfront location offers easy access to the Atlantic Ocean.
There's a pair of outdoor swimming pools here – including one with a swim-up bar – so we wouldn't blame you for staying put for a sun-drenched afternoon in the slow lane. And when the sea is calling your name? You're just a few short steps from the idyllic beach. Nearby, you can explore local markets, the Pedra de Lume Salt Lakes, and vibrant local nightlife, plus, you’re a mere five-minute drive from the centre of Santa Maria.
Did someone say spa? Tucked away in the tranquil surroundings of the YHI Spa, you'll find a sauna, Turkish bath, and Jacuzzi, as well as a range of tempting treatments and massages if you fancy ramping up the R&R factor.
Dining is sure to be a delight, too, thanks to the choice of three restaurants serving international, Italian, and Asian fare. The poolside snack bar is the place to go for lighter bites, and a trio of bars means drinks are sorted. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or adventure, expect a fun-packed and peaceful escape – but only for the adults.
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.
