Adults-only beachfront escape
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 ages 16 and up? 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 are four 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 a trio of à la carte restaurants serving Italian, Mediterranean, and Asian fare. There's also a pair of poolside dining spots, which transforms into a sizzling BBQ joint when evening falls, and a pair of international buffet restaurants for everyday eats. Plus, with six bars scattered around the complex, your drinks – from refreshing sodas to something a little stronger – are sorted.
Whether you’re seeking relaxation or adventure, expect a fun-packed and peaceful escape – but only for the grown-ups.
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.
