Sal, Cape Verde

This key ready, fully accessible apartment enjoys pool views from its private, unadjoined terrace, and is situated in the very heart of the 5* beachfront resort of Melia Tortuga - one of the most sought-after locations on Sal.

In superb condition, this 2-bedroom and 2-bathroom apartment has an excellent location within easy walking distance of the two pool areas, and of course the beautiful beach beyond. The restaurants, bars, spa and gym are all within a few minutes' level walk, but the apartment enjoys a beautifully peaceful position, set in tropical gardens. Those who want to enjoy the beach or pools, all the attractions but then get a good night's sleep will truly appreciate this.

The well-planned accommodation includes, from the entrance:

Shower room on entry Large open plan living & dining area Well-equipped kitchen 15.22m² unadjoined terrace 1 double bedroom with aircon & TV Family bathroom with bath and shower over Twin bedroom

Though there are five restaurants in the resort and many more along the beach, this property is well set up for self caterers. The fully-equipped kitchen includes a 4-ring hob, conventional and microwave oven, washing machine, fridge and ample cupboard space. Everything down to towels and teaspoons is included.

Sold freehold and fully furnished, the apartment is currently in the hotel rental scheme. This means that the owners enjoy 5 weeks' accommodation a year free of charge, and have the property managed by the hotel for the rest of the year. The owners own the bricks and mortar, but have none of the cost or work involved in marketing the property, attracting, welcoming and looking after guests, nor the maintenance, repairs, cleaning, laundry, electricity and water. All is taken care of. For those seeking a lifestyle investment and a modest income, the rental scheme can work well. Buyers are strongly encouraged to explore the rental scheme agreement and possible returns on investment.

Given the appropriate notice, this beautiful apartment can be taken out of the hotel rental scheme, ready to be used as your holiday home, winter or year-round residence - an idyllic retreat for family and friends.

Here, on the west coast of Sal, with the famous white sands and clear turquoise warm waters of Algodoeiro Beach, Melia Tortuga is a low-rise, laid back development set amidst lush, mature tropical gardens. There are miles of white sand beaches right on your doorstep, as well as safe swimming and snorkeling almost all year round in the warm waters of Bikini Beach.
