Why you’ll love this…

Embark on a journey through sea flavors
Eat in a unique location on the beach
Savor the real Cape Verdean spiny lobster

What to expect

Treat yourself to a spiny lobster meal in a restaurant overlooking the beach and pier in Santa Maria.

Two tasty starters: the Catalan-style spiny lobster, cooked in flavored water, served with tomato and sour-marinated onions, followed by a small tasting of amber jack carpaccio marinated in orange and pink pepper. The first course is a fantastic spiny lobster risotto that allows you to savor all the flavor of the prestigious crustacean. The risotto is followed by the main dish, a very fragrant and colorful typical Cape Verdean Sweaty, with peppers, onions, carrots, white wine and tomato sauce, all stewed in our delicious fish broth.

Conclude your experience in the sweetest and most refreshing way, with a lemon and ginger ice cream.

Sal island catamaran cruise with All-Inclusive drinks and snacks

If holidays for you are all about kicking back and catching up on some chill-out time, then this catamaran cruise around Sal is just what you're looking for. There's nothing on the agenda except cruising, sunbathing, swimming and enjoying the sea breeze. Maria, one of our local guides, says, ‘This is a trip which prioritises relaxation. Getting out onto the water gives you a fresh perspective on the island – Monte Leão is a popular place for birds, so if you like wildlife-watching, bring your binoculars and see if you can spot one of the five species endemic to the Cape Verde archipelago.'Your day of relaxation kicks off with pick-up from your hotel before boarding the brand-new catamaran. Your captain will cruise out from Palmeira, hugging the coastline. It's the perfect moment for you to choose your spot and sit back to soak up some rays. There's plenty of room to relax as well as drinks, snacks and local music to get you into that holiday mood as you enjoy the sensation of gliding through the open water in style.Once we've reached our idyllic spot near Monte Leão, your captain will drop anchor to freshen up with a swim in the open water. When we've stopped, you can also head out on to the nets, where you'll be able to float above the sparkling water and dry off in the sun. Maria adds, ‘Monte Leão sits at the northern end of the Murdeira Bay. The whole bay area is a marine nature reserve because of the important populations of sea turtles and seabirds.'
