Sal, Cape Verde

Those seeking an "away from it all" holiday home or permanent residence may well fall in love with this amazingly spacious 2-bedroom first floor apartment in Paradise Beach. It has been lovingly and tastefully furnished, with everything you need for a holiday home, rental or permanent living.

Facing the west, this fully-furnished and accessible apartment covers over 100 square metres. Its main attraction is the terrace, 20 square metres alone - with views of the swimming pool, the lush tropical garden and the ocean beyond. These views will NOT change.

With ample outside furniture included in the sale, this is where most will be spending their time, enjoying the beautiful tropical gardens, the view of the pool which is just steps away, and the warm year-round sunshine. You can watch the sunset and the comings and goings below, while resting in the shade, with a breeze to take the edge off Sal's wonderful year-round warmth.

With luxurious, quality furniture and excellent, solid construction, this apartment is a perfect retreat. The terrace is completely private, and on shutting the large patio doors -which access the balcony from the lounge and master bedroom - there is utter quiet. The resort of Paradise Beach is peaceful and secure, and 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:
-Large entrance hall, including cupboards
-To the right, large twin bedroom with ample storage
-Shower room opposite twin, near entrance
-To the left, open plan living and dining with gorgeous space and furniture

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.
