Where we are

 

Our location is in S. Maria on Sal Island. 16° 35.797’   W 22° 54.454

 

 

A ten islands archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, 350 nm from Senegal and 6 fly hrs from Italy. An uncorrupted paradise between Cancer Tropic and the Equator. A truly crystal clear, emerald green Ocean water, a dry climate constantly aired by the Trade Winds, with temperatures remaining all the year long between 24° and 31° C and a water temperature between 24° and 31° C offer a single uniform season lasting twelve months. A 365 days long summer, with the only variation, between November and March, when winds are somewhat stronger.

Sal island offers such a geologic conformation that few miles from the coastline there are already three thousands meters. On the island there are both extraordinarily wide white beaches and steep volcanic cliffs. All this adds up to render this island a little paradise where, from the long past time of the first colonizers to our days, fishing is an integral component of the local culture.

Santa Maria is the historical fishing center of Sal. Here, near the traditional wood pier, life center for all fishermen, there is the Center Atlantis, where the Fishing Center is located.
The center Atlantis accomodates a famous restaurant for savory fish barbecues and the Center Sail Mistral.
