Ponta Preta
Framed by golden dunes and marked by an impressive black rock formation from which it gets its name, Ponta Preta is located on the southwestern coast of the island of Sal in Cape Verde, is a true paradise for lovers of unspoiled nature. A vast expanse of golden sand lapped by crystal-clear turquoise waters.

Baia de Murdeira
A rocky bay with spectacular views of Monte Leão, ideal for excursions and breathtaking photos. The village gets its name from a Portuguese word meaning "to grind," referring to the windmills once used to grind salt in the nearby Pedra de Lume salt flats. It is home to a small community of local fishermen whose way of life has remained largely unchanged over the centuries. Murdeira is a popular spot for stargazing, thanks to its location far from any light pollution.

Buracona, the Blue Eye of Cape Verde: a natural treasure to discover
Buracona, located on the northwestern coast of the island of Sal in Cape Verde, is a magical place offering visitors a unique spectacle: the famous "Blue Eye" This cave was formed by sea erosion over millennia. An opening in the cave’s ceiling allows sunlight to penetrate and create a reflection on the water below, resulting in an incredible natural pool of intense blue color, resembling an eye. Swimming in the "Blue Eye" is a truly special experience. The crystal-clear water and surreal color create a magical atmosphere that will leave you breathless.
Shark Bay
Contrary to its name, it is not a place where sharks are particularly frequent, though some, particularly lemon sharks, can occasionally be spotted.
Shark bay is an unspoiled beach with golden sand and crystal-clear waters, Here you can have the unique experience of walking in the water surrounded by lemon sharks near your legs. A rich marine ecosystem ideal for snorkeling and diving. Among the fish you can see are barracudas, moray eels, rays, and even sea turtles. The bay is surrounded by volcanic rocks and lush vegetation, creating a breathtaking panorama.
The Salt Pans of Pedra de Lume
Located on the island of Sal in Cape Verde, they offer visitors a truly unique experience. The salt pans are inside an extinct volcanic crater, creating a truly suggestive lunar landscape. Salt extraction here dates back to the 17th century and has played an important role in the island’s economy for many years. Even today, the salt pans produce high-quality sea salt that is exported worldwide. The central lake of the salt pans has a very high salt concentration, allowing you to float effortlessly like in the Dead Sea. A truly unique experience! The salty mud of the salt pans is rich in beneficial properties for the skin. You can apply it to your body and let it dry in the sun, then rinse it off in the lake's waters.
