Kitesurfing Holiday Sal
The Cape Verde islands are a small archipelago in the Atlantic, 1,500km south of the Canary Islands and approx. 450 km off the West coast of Africa in the trade wind belt. Due to their postion within this winter trade wind belt the Cape Verde Islands boast near perfect kitesurfing conditions from Noveomber to May. The Island of Sal, with the airport, is the most popular kitesurfing haven. It's a barren island but everyone who comes here falls under the spell of its mysterious charm and plans to return.

SKY RIDERS
Here at Planet we are very conscious of the safety aspect of kitesurfing and in an effort to ensure the very best facilities, course structures and safety we thoroughly check all of the kite schools we use, participating in courses where passable. In Cape Verde the best school is Skyriders (as a part of Club Mistral). Here you will find an excellent range of 2 line kites for beginners along with the Skyriders directional learner board.
For the more advanced they also have a good selection of Naish and North 4 line kites and a nice selection of boards for all levels.
It is obvious to us that a lot of effort to ensure some of the highest standards of Kite Schooling we have seen. We particularly advocate their 'buddy system' where students are always buddied up with another student of similar standard so that you can learn off each other and always have someone looking out for you from the beach to assist in bringing down the kite etc..

MORABEZA HOTEL
This charming hotel is conveniently located just behind the second Planet Windsurfing station on the other side of the bay to Leme Bedje. There is a reasonably sized swimming pool set in a well presented patio area with bar/snack area.
The rooms have a shower, ceiling fan, TV fridge, balcony, some of which have sea views (at a supplement). There are also holiday apartments for families with up to two children.
ODJO DEL AQUA HOTEL
With it's stunning location right on the waters edge, this hotel offers a high standard of service and probably the best views of any in Santa Maria.
The small pool is located on a tropical terrace overlooking the bay and the restaurant offers some of the best food on the island. Live music is also offered on some evenings in the nautical cellar bar. All rooms are furnished to a high standard, with ensuite facilities, fan, TV, fridge, phone and balcony. Standard rooms are right on the pool, and larger rooms are located on the first floor. Family rooms with a connecting door are also available. The 15 minute walk to the centre is well worth it for the views alone!
NOVORIZONTE HOTEL
Directly behind the Mistral Centre, the Novorizonte is a bungalow-style complex with simple, comfortably furnished rooms, which offer a more relaxed feel than your normal hotel. Located in the pleasant gardens, all rooms have ensuite facilities, air-conditioning, hairdryer, fridge, satellite TV, phone and a private terrace.
The hotel has a saltwater pool and restaurant, and you may also use the facilities of the Belorizonte Hotel next door. These include two further pools (one freshwater and one saltwater), a tennis court, games room, table tennis, bar and restaurant. However, there a choice or restaurants just a few minutes walk away or in Santa Maria centre (15 minutes walk). |
