Santa Maria Sal Cape Verde

Sol Dunas Family Fun

  • Three pools plus a waterpark designed for kids’ adventures
  • Relax at Yhi Spa with saunas, massages and steam baths

All-inclusive family escape in sunny Sal

Set on Sal Island’s southwest coast, Sol Dunas Family Fun is a 4-star all-inclusive resort designed for beach lovers and pool-lurkers. Only five minutes' drive from the picturesque town of Santa Maria, and a short walk to Algodoeiro Beach, it’s the perfect base for discovering Cape Verde’s charm.

A great option for families, kids can splash in their own pool, conquer slides at the waterpark, or explore the themed playground, while grown-ups relax by two pools. The sports courts, darts, table tennis, and water polo offer plenty of friendly competition, and come sundown, the amphitheatre hosts vibrant shows and themed parties. The Yhi Spa is on hand for anyone craving downtime with massages, saunas, and hydrotherapy.

What Sol Dunas Family Fun has to offer

    VIP Level

    If you’re looking to indulge, the VIP Level Package is a game-changer. You’ll have access to more than 26 restaurants and 23 bars across the neighbouring Meliá resorts, plus exclusive adults-only lounges with premium drinks and complimentary canapés. Fancy a peaceful swim with sea views? Head to the adults-only lounge at Meliá Llana. You’ll also enjoy à la carte breakfasts, evening meals at top spots like NAMI Asian and Signora Sassi, and a complimentary massage to top it off. It’s variety, luxury, and value all rolled into one.

    Easy exploring

    Santa Maria, with its beach cafés and colourful local life, is just five minutes' drive away. Fancy the beach? Algodoeiro is a short stroll and comes with its own coral reef teeming with marine life. And with the airport only 20 minutes from the hotel, you’ll be from plane to pool in no time. Stress-free holidays don’t get much simpler.

    Nights to remember

    Evenings don’t just fizzle out at Sol Dunas – they come alive. The resort’s amphitheatre sets the stage for shows, music, and themed parties that the whole family can enjoy together. From mini-disco sessions for the kids to lively performances that keep adults entertained too, there’s something different each night. It’s an easy way to make evenings special without leaving the resort, and a great way to keep everyone smiling after dinner.
