Located 600 metres from Praia de Santa Maria, 700 metres from Nazarene Church and less than 1 km from Funana Casa da Cultura, Beauty Plaza Suites provides accommodation situated in Santa Maria. The apartment, set in a building dating from 2019, is 700 metres from Parish of Our Lady of Sorrows and 4.4 km from Viveiro, Botanical Garden & Zoo di Terra. The apartment features family rooms. This was an amazing large flat, outstanding value and just 6 minutes from the main Santa Maria beach in a quiet area. The flat complex is new and so all facilities are clean and spotless with no wear and tear. Ana Maria arranged taxis both ways and check in and out was seamless. In comparison to the previous airbnb I had, this was of far superior quality in all aspects. Can't recommend it enough.

Located within 500 metres of Praia de Santa Maria and 400 metres of Nazarene Church, Ca GIOgió provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Santa Maria. There is a private entrance at the apartment for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. I loved this apartment and with I could have stayed longer! The hosts are so friendly and helpful, arranging everything for me and even taking the time to walk me to the colectivo station so I could get a cheaper ride back to the airport than possible with a taxi. The apartment itself has everything you need and there is a great grocery store around the corner, plus countless good restaurants and coffee shops in east walking distance. You get all the benefit of Santa Maria’s amenities without feeling cloistered in a resort.

Situated in Santa Maria and only 300 metres from Praia de Santa Maria, BIA D'Olaf Apartments features accommodation with city views, free WiFi and free private parking. The property has quiet street views and is 200 metres from Nazarene Church and 400 metres from Parish of Our Lady of Sorrows. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. We had an amazing experience at Bia D’Olaf on Sal Island. The apartment was spotless, modern, and very comfortable — everything looked new and perfectly maintained. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always with a smile and ready to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The location couldn’t be better — just a short walk from the beach and the main areas of Santa Maria, yet peaceful and relaxing. A special bonus is the wonderful bakery and café downstairs, owned by the same family. Their pastries, coffee, and breakfasts are simply delicious — the perfect way to start the day! Everything was truly five stars — cleanliness, comfort, hospitality, and the little details that make a big difference. We will definitely come back and recommend Bia D’Olaf to anyone visiting Sal Island!

Boasting a terrace, bar and views of city, Ocean Suites is situated in Santa Maria, 100 metres from Praia de Santa Maria. The property is located 5.7 km from Viveiro, Botanical Garden & Zoo di Terra, 21 km from  Monte Curral and 26 km from Pedra Lume Salt Crater. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. Hotel: Ocean Suites is much more than a hotel. The service and attention that you as a customer receive every day is great🤩. I stayed in room 2 (for me one of the nicest room)😌. The room was large, with good working air conditioning and a beautiful view of the popular square and main street.The servers were friendly one by one and want to do everything for you "NO STRESS". And every evening there is live music downstairs in the restaurant with good music. You dance💃🏾 until you can't feel your feet anymore (haha). For your safety, a security guard is present every night and after an evening out he will bring you safely to the entrance so that you can safely return to your room. Breakfast ,lunch and diner: Every morning I could choose between 3 different breakfast menus (American🥓, Cape Verde🫘 and Mediterranean🍅). All three were tasty and you get a lot! You can also enjoy a delicious meal there (lunch and dinner). Try their burger🍔 (one of the tastiest burgers in Cabo Verde!)🤌🏽.  The beach and the famous pier are a 3-minute walk from the hotel! All famous cafes and restaurants are a 5 or 6 minute walk from the hotel. If you want to save money, book all activities through Dorry, which will save you 10 to 20 euros per excursion. And you can also arrange your transport to and from the airport through Dorry. Ocean Suites is for me the best hotel in Santa Maria! Adilson makes the best coffee☕️ for you in the morning. Janete serves you with her beautiful smile in the evening 😍(She has the most beautiful curls I had ever seen) And Flavio teaches you the coolest dance moves every evening💃🏾. Thank you Dorry for everything and I will definitely be back❤️❤️!!
