Sal, Cape Verde

One bedroom penthouses in Vila Verde, also known as T1s, are increasingly scarce on the open market, and it's very rare that we find one in as excellent condition as this. With two balconies and a corner plot, this is a larger than average T1 on the top floor of the Lantana condominium, with wide west-facing views. Early viewing is recommended, as this will sell quickly.
This property has recently been revalued, making it very attractive to buy, with both IUP (council tax) AND its sales tax halved. With low running costs, it is a turnkey, lock up and leave investment that is perfect for your second home, in the sunshine.
The accommodation comprises:
secure key-coded access, stairways and lifts to the top floor, with a solid, secure entrance
Hallway with floor to ceiling storage
Straight ahead, the open plan living and dining area, beautifully refurbished with premium furniture, artwork and shelving, two double sofas
Balcony, with wide views of the resort, tennis courts and Melia Dunas
Kitchen to the left, with new cupboard doors, American-style fridge freezer, washing machine, etc
To the right of the hallway on entry, storage/wardrobes floor to ceiling, leading to
Large fully-tiled bathroom with shower cubicle, additional shelving, high quality appliances, fixtures and fittings
Door to double bedroom, with floor to ceiling wardrobes, dressing table, mirror and balcony that enjoys the afternoon sun.
PLEASE NOTE: The residents voted and paid extra condo fees in 2025 to reline and reopen the pool complex in the centre of the condominium, meaning that Lantana is scheduled to have a gorgeous communal pool during 2026. Keen eyed investors will take advantage of the lower sales price now, knowing that market values and popularity of Lantana will almost certainly grow with the restoration of the pool.
Lantana is a well-maintained and friendly community, with working lifts, an entry phone system and tropical gardens. With 24-hour security, you can rest well, and the apartment with excellent double glazing is quiet, despite its position at the front of Vila Verde. With a couple of minutes' walk, you are at the Cactus pool bar and restaurant, a bike hire shop, the café/gelateria and the free shuttle bus stop.
Vila Verde offers a luxury, peaceful alternative to town or beach-front hotel resorts. Widely acknowledged to have the best construction of any residence on Sal, it is ideal for those seeking peace and quiet, European standards of accommodation, 24-hour security, elevators in all blocks, regular shuttle buses, one of the best supermarkets and a short walk or free shuttle to the beach. With wide boulevards and beautiful gardens, Vila Verde is finished, unique and very appealing for winter living, holidays, or as a permanent home.
