The Porto Antigo Residence's with their large pools, hardwood decking and beautifully landscaped gardens are regarded as being the most prestigious developments on the island of Sal. Our guests agree-feedback from our guests has been very important; our reputation depends on your satisfaction. We have a number of guests we have had the pleasure to welcome back for their 3rd/4th visit. Sal was featured on Channel 4's "A Place in the Sun" when Cheryl Baker of Bucks Fizz fame was captured by the beauty of its unspoilt beaches and year round sunshine (4 July 2008). The large freshwater swimming pool is surrounded by pretty landscaped gardens; rarely crowded- its like having your own private pool. Or choose to relax on the beautiful white private beach which is reserved for guests only. Sheltered by the old harbour wall the private beach with shallow waters is perfect for the little ones to splash around. Toys and inflatables provided.
The stunning miles and miles of white sand which is Santa Maria's main beach is just a few minutes walk, here you will find an abundance of water sports to entertain, or for the less energetic soak up the sun followed by a BBQ and a glass of something cool at the Beach Club-a favourite spot for people watching. We have added those little extras that make your holiday complete-microwave, hairdryer, dvd, video, PlayStation, hammocks, toys & inflatables for the pool. Playsation, video and dvd a bonus to entertain the children when the sun is too hot. The Porto Antigo Residence has around 100 properties offering an intimacy that larger developments and hotels cannot compete with. The Papayas restaurant has an enviable position where guests can enjoy breakfast, coffee or a light meal, take away meals available. During the evening enjoy a cocktail whilst watching the sun set over Santa Maria bay.
At night time a perfect romantic ambience is created with beautiful lighting around the pool and beach.
