Why Is Sal the Heart of Real Estate Development?
Located just a few kilometers from the African continent and well connected to Europe through frequent international flights, Sal has become one of the most beloved destinations in Cape Verde. Its white sandy beaches, the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and a dry climate with temperatures ranging from 22°C to 30°C year-round make it an accessible and livable tropical paradise.
In this context, new constructions represent the symbol of structural transformation. Modern and well-designed complexes, private villas, stylish apartments, tourist residences, and mixed-use properties (residential and commercial) are rising across the island, often featuring integrated services such as pools, security, concierge, and dining facilities.
