Sal Holiday

Sal Beach Holiday

The smell of fresh salt air and beautiful coastal vistas are just the start of things you can look forward to on your Sal holiday. If you want to save on your trip to Sal, here's how to do it — choose one of our Sal packages. Grab one near Santa Maria Beach, only 14 kilometres from the town centre and a must-see while here. Alternatively, select a package that puts you close to Shark Bay Beach, another stunning stretch of coast. Either way, you'll be left with extra dollars in your budget to play with.

"Very nice hotel with access to a wonderful beach. Because it was winter, we were not able to do watersports because of the sea condition but it was still fun and kids enjoyed the park and the waterslides. Excellent destination for family."
