What’s more, staying at RIU Cabo Verde you get access to the Splash Water World at RIU Palace Santa Maria.

Overview of Sal, Cape Verde

Sal is one of 11 islands in Cape Verde, just off the west coast of Africa, and this island actually gets its name from being a former salt mine. The islands were originally discovered by the Portuguese, so you’ll find the native language is Portuguese – but don’t worry, you can brush up on your useful phrases. Sal is the definition of a beach paradise, with white sand and therapeutic waters, and a constantly warm climate – in fact, the island sees 365 days of sunshine every year. We like the sound of that!

Things to do in Sal, Cape Verde

Sal is the largest tourist destination in the Cape Verde Islands, so there’s plenty to do to make your stay at RIU Cabo Verde one to remember. With stunning white sand beaches at your feet, it’s the picture perfect destination for long beach days spent relaxing or exploring. Plus, the coastline is lined with cafes, bars and restaurants for everything you could possibly need.

If you’re visiting between July and September, you’ll be just in time to see the female sea turtles come out of the water to lay their eggs. Or, if your holiday is between August and December, you may be lucky enough to see the eggs hatch and the turtles make their way back into the water. It’s a mesmerising sight! There’s a variety of wildlife to be seen in Sal, some that you can see from the beach, some that require you to kit up in scuba diving gear, and some you can see just walking about.

Your stay in Sal won’t be complete without a visit to the open-air market. Grab yourself some souvenirs and even some fresh produce. You’ll find local handmade goods like bongo drums, coconut shell carvings, clay dolls, African masks and so much more.
