Our most popular family-run hotel with good facilities and a tranquil atmosphere located on the edge of Santa Maria’s wonderful white sandy beach.
The Morabeza, a local word for hospitality, is the longest established hotel on Sal. Its popularity is largely due to its fantastic location right next to the sandy beach and the personal service that guests receive. Originally the home of a Belgian family, the Morabeza is still owned by the same family and has developed into a very attractive and much sought after hotel, now run by Sophie Marcellesi, the granddaughter of the original owners.
The grounds are large with tropical flowers lining pathways leading down to ‘Le Beach Club’, which has a reputation for being the perfect spot for lunch. The Beach Club also offers a number of superb watersports facilities. The Morabeza offers numerous activities to choose from, however there is no music by the pool to disturb the tranquillity of this hotel.
Our prices are based on superior land view rooms with the Bon Appetit dining option which includes dinner taken in Les Palmiers restaurant on the first night, last night and the Saturday barbecue buffet during each week of your stay. On other nights the hotel offers the choice of a main and à la carte restaurant, or the restaurants and bars in Santa Maria are just a short stroll away. Alternatively, guests can choose to book nights on Half Board in addition to the Bon Appetit dining option. Junior, family and master suites or duplex room upgrades are available on request.
Our opinion: Simply the best hotel in Cape Verde in a prime position on Santa Maria beach enjoyed by many returning guests year after year.
