ION CLUB & DUNAS DE SAL HOTEL
Make the most of your kitesurfing, windsurfing, wingfoiling and SUP holidays with ION CLUB Sal.
Off of the coast of Senegal lies Cape Verde, an archipelago of ten or so islands with a Portuguese accent, some known for their magnificent beaches, and some for their mountains, not to mention their fabulous surf spots. Cape Verde was put on the map initially thanks to its famous morna singer Cesária Évora, and much later in the 90s by windsurfers, and then kitesurfers with a passion for wind and waves.
There is plenty of accommodation on offer in Cape Verde which will suit all budgets. All are close to the beaches, particularly the Dunas de Sal Hotel. This hotel is close to the center and Santa Maria beach, about 10 minutes away, andabout a 30-minute walk from the Ponta Leme center.
ION CLUB is one of the oldest watersport centres in Sal, with the first club being built on Santa Maria beach. A second ION CLUB centre was built on Ponta Leme a few years ago, still in the village of Santa Maria, to be closer to the wave spot. The town of Santa Maria has expanded with the development and improvement of the hotels in Sal Cape Verde. It is indeed a highly appreciated place by everyone, combining a hotel and watersports, making it the perfect location for your vacation in Sal, Cape Verde.

WHAT TO DO IN CAPE VERDE AND AT THE DUNAS HOTEL ?
In Cape Verde, particularly on the island of Sal, watersports enthusiasts will be in for a treat! With a variety of wave spots and calmer waters, there’s something for everyone, whether you’re here to windsurf, kitesurf, or wingfoil. For the more experienced riders, the famous Ponta Preta wave awaits those with the courage to tackle it! For everyone else, there’s nothing like watching this exhilarating spectacle from the beach!
If you want to relax after a session or get together with the family, you can take advantage of the swimming pool and/or wellness centre at the Porto Antigo residence, as well as the small beach directly in front of it.
Cape Verde also offers a wide range of activities, such as scuba diving, boat trips, sunbathing (yes, that counts as an activity!), and much more. You can even organize some of these activities directly with the hotel, including boat trips to visit Boa Vista Island, car rentals for exploring the island, and scuba diving.
Finally, at the Dunas de Sal Hotel, enjoy the refreshing pool, read a book in the shade of the palm trees, have a massage, do sports, rent bicycles, or embark on an adventure with a dance class.
It’s easy to explore around the island, either by organised excursion or simply by hiring a car. The places to visit are the Blue Eye (or Buracona in Portuguese), which are the old saltworks located in the crater of the Pedra de Lume volcano, and also Shark Bay.
During the summer months, you can also watch loggerhead turtles nesting, and why not return in early winter when the baby turtles hatch.
Wondering what to do in Cape Verde? As you can see, you won’t have time to be bored!
