Dunas de Sal

Dunas de Sal is a contemporary 4-star hotel in Santa Maria, designed by Guilherme Couto Paris to blend modern comfort with traditional Cape Verdean charm. Located in Ponta Preta, it offers a calm setting where each room includes a private balcony, air conditioning, and satellite TV. This property may suit families looking for a practical base near the spectacular Santa Maria beach.

Families with children will find dedicated facilities including a shallow children's pool and a separate adult swimming pool. The resort also provides highchairs for babies and toddlers to assist with meal times. While the on-site dive centre and spa offer relaxation for adults, the poolside restaurant serves a diverse menu of local and international dishes, often with live music. Children under two stay free, making this a good choice for younger families.

Parents can enjoy the gym and spa while the hotel remains close to the beach, just a five-minute walk away. Airport transfers are available upon request for an additional fee, though this should be confirmed before booking. As some services may incur extra charges, guests are advised to check specific details with the hotel directly.
