44 TRAVEL ADVERTORIAL The hotel started life as a private family home, and this welcoming friendly atmosphere can still be felt in the hotel today. Staying here is like visiting a small village quarter, full of trees and flowers. Offering a fantastic quality of accommodation, combined with amazing restaurants and bars, it is great for windsurfers and non-windsurfing partners and families alike. Sea view terraces, a laid-back surf vibe, a beach restaurant, three swimming pools, and three bars, all add to the fun at the Morabeza. The Morabeza Hotel is also located just a three minute walk from the windsurf centre on Santa Maria beach, or 15 minutes to Ponta Leme. For those looking for other things to do in Sal, the main activity, aside from windsurfing, is scuba diving. The dive centres have an excellent set-up and offer a full range of courses. The waters off Sal are a diver's paradise with wrecks, rich tropical underwater flora and a massive array of fish while a unique volcanic topography with rocky ridges, pinnacles, boulders, arches and caves, adds to the experience. From February to June whales are often seen and you can see plenty of turtles from June to September. For those looking for a relaxing break, filled with food, fun and sun, then Santa Maria is it. The town centre has a few clubs with regular live music, restaurants and bars with a friendly buzzing atmosphere. uk WIND SURFING Ready to start planning your next windsurfing holiday to Sal?
