Sal, Cape Verde

If you're looking for a wow-factor villa with glorious sunset and sea views, if you want to watch the ocean waves from your bedroom in private, spacious and luxury surrounds, this could be the place for you.

Occupying a fantastic corner plot position, this is one of the best-placed villas on the west coast of Sal. It has a wrap-around garden at the end of a private cul de sac, so is free from onlookers. On the second row from a stunning sand beach, its upper floor looks over the top of the bungalows on the front line, giving a wonderful 180 degree view of the beach and ocean. The rear garden is laid to lawn and has a private pool, enjoying the morning sunshine. With a balcony running the length of the top floor facing the sea, and another facing east, you have the choice of sunshine and shade all day long.

Three bedrooms and three bathrooms with open plan dining, living and kitchen areas, this detached villa is designed for indoor-outdoor living. Large patio doors and windows give a wonderful through breeze, though there is of course air con as well. There is ample storage, the villa comes fully furnished and there is a downstairs bedroom and bathroom for those with accessibility needs.

This villa is NOT in any sort of rental scheme. It has been run as a successful private holiday rental for many years, averaging between 25,000 and 30,000 Euros in rental income per annum. Sold freehold, it would just as readily make a wonderful family home, whether for the winters or all year round.

A stand-alone home with pool, garden, parking and privacy, this villa also enjoys all the facilities Melia Tortuga has to offer as a resort. All are within a few minutes' level walking: 2 pool complexes, 5 bars, 4 restaurants, spa, shop and gym onsite.

Melia Tortuga is a beachfront resort with miles of golden sands right on the doorstep; safe swimming almost year round, great snorkelling and water sports.
