Sal Island | RIU Funaná

The Cape Verde Islands

Cape Verde is located off the west coast of Africa and is made up of 10 islands in the Atlantic Ocean. The excellent RIU hotels welcome you with warm service and a genuine sense of care. Perfect for families, RIU resorts even feature water parks, ensuring fun for all ages. With convenient flight connections from Lisbon, getting here is easy. Still relatively undiscovered, the islands offer an off-the-beaten-track charm, while long sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and modern hotels guarantee a comfortable and memorable stay. Across the island, you’ll discover a rich blend of African, Brazilian, and Portuguese influences reflected in the music, fashion, and especially the cuisine.

Sal

Sal, the most popular island, captivates visitors with its lunar landscapes and picturesque towns such as Santa Maria, filled with surf shops, traditional restaurants, and welcoming cafés. Its eight-kilometer beach is ideal for water sports or simply relaxing, and at the end of the day, you can enjoy romantic sunsets along the seemingly endless coastline — a truly magical experience.
