Hotel Morabeza  

On Cape Verde’s sun-soaked island of Sal, tucked into the white-sand stretch by the village of Santa Maria. This beachfront property sits a few steps from the lively village center and the island’s finest beach.

Rooms come with private bathrooms, hairdryers, TVs, phones, free in-room safes, mini-fridges, free air conditioning, free Wi‑Fi and balconies or terraces. Accommodation is spread across multiple buildings and annexes, and the site has a lot of steps. Towel service requires signing a deposit form; missing towel or card incurs a 3,000 CVE fee.

Three swimming pools, a gym, two tennis courts, parking, laundry service, 24-hour reception and two elevators keep things easy. Four on-site restaurants and three bars give you choices. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and dip into poolside lounging after a day on the sand.

Four restaurants and three bars on the property offer a range of on-site dining and drink options. The nearby village of Santa Maria is just steps away for local Cape Verdean flavors and seaside cafés.
