Sal, Cape Verde

Those who have dreamed of waking up to gaze out at the ocean, stepping out onto your private balcony to watch the waves and boats, wondering whether to take a morning dip in the pool below ... it's time to wake up, and see the reality for sale here on Sal! This is a true "get away from it all" holiday home or permanent residence - an amazingly spacious 2-bedroom first floor apartment - in Paradise Beach.
Facing directly towards the ocean and overlooking the pool, this fully-furnished, gorgeous apartment has stunning views, unrivalled for apartments in any other resort. Its terrace has the true wow factor: accessed from both from the living room and ensuite master bedroom. With outside furniture and sunbeds included in the sale, this is where most will be spending their time - enjoying the tropical gardens, the view of the pool just steps away, as well as the stunning Algodoeiro Beach - less than 5 minutes level walk away.
With quality furniture and excellent, solid construction, this apartment is a perfect retreat. The balcony is completely private and, on shutting the large patio doors, there is utter quiet, but with flyscreens in place, you could leave the doors to the balcony open, and enjoy the breeze and distance sounds of the ocean. The resort of Paradise Beach is peaceful and secure; loved by professionals, fishermen, walkers and surfers, to name but a few. It is not packed with kids' clubs, bars, noisy pools, clubs and restaurants, but all are available at neighbouring Melia Dunas and Bikini Beach.
The accommodation comprises:
Entrance hall
Bedroom One: fitted with large wardrobes and twin beds
Family bathroom with shower
Fully-fitted kitchen, inc. dishwasher, large fridge-freezer and washing machine, windows, quality boiler
Open plan living and dining area with flyscreens and large double glazed patio doors to
20+ square metre double balcony, complete with table & chairs, large parasol and sunbeds
Double ensuite master bedroom, with large double glazed patio doors to balcony
The expression "key ready" is used all too often, but this dream apartment truly is. Everything is in working order, there is air conditioning in both bedrooms and the lounge, and down to extra sets of bedding and cutlery, everything is included. Private holiday lets are allowed at Paradise Beach, so this could also provide a rental income when you're not using it, subject to obtaining the appropriate local council licence, which is available free of charge until November 2025. With lower condo fees than in other resorts, holiday lets through platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com are an attractive proposition here. The management at Paradise Beach also provide a long-term rental programme for those seeking a regular, guaranteed income.
Set on the glorious, untamed west coast of Sal, just 5 minutes from Santa Maria and 15 minutes from the airport, Paradise Beach is a developing resort with huge potential. Directly opposite the 18-hole golf course to the east and Melia Dunas to the south, it covers 283,000 square metres of prime coastal real estate - the equivalent of 19 football pitches. With immaculate gardens and excellent swimming pools, it is a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of Santa Maria, with some of the most spacious accommodation and best sea views of any resort on Sal. Plans are well underway for completion of the resort with a hotel and further amenities, but for now Paradise Beach offers excellent value for money and a glorious retreat from the stresses of everyday life.
