The island of Sal - the most popular and developed in the Cape Verde archipelago - is well on its way to becoming one of the world's top tourist destinations. Regular flights from the UK to Sal's established international airport whisk holidaymakers in only a few hours to crystal clear seas, endless white beaches, adventurous water sports and great night life.
Just 30km long and 12km wide, Sal is a jewel of a tropical island. The charming town of Santa Maria at its southernmost tip is the main tourist resort, with beachside restaurants, fascinating shops, a lovely town square, and local musicians playing Cape Verdean classics. Other attractions include the town of Espargos with its variety of shops, bars and restaurants, the salt flats of Pedra de Lume and the port town of Palmeria.
Sal is at the very heart of the investment excitement, which surrounds Cape Verde. The government is investing significantly in creating a modern, world class tourist destination. And with its rapidly developing local infrastructure, growing number of scheduled flights, increasingly sophisticated tourist facilities, five star hotel, two new golf courses designed by Ernie Els, and plans for an upmarket marina, major tour operators are already looking for more and more rental stock.
Its unique combination of natural and developmental benefits makes Sal the definitive choice over all its island neighbours - and there's never been a better time or opportunity to invest.
