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.
