10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Ilha do Sal That You Shouldn't Miss

March 22, 2022 Viva Honore

The Cape Verdean island of Sal is all about the beach, baby. White sand stretches along glassy turquoise waters—perfect for a lazy day of sunning or some heart-pumping watersports. Snorkelers and divers will find plenty of tropical fish, turtles, and dolphins to look at. On dry land, kids (and grownups!) will marvel at the Terra Boa mirage, an optical illusion that conjures a peaceful-looking lake in the middle of a large, flat plain.

Djunta Mo Art

The Djunta Mo Art project was started on the Island of Sal, Cape Verde, for the purpose of developing a sustainable market in the archipelago and especially, to promote Cape Verde’s art, culture and crafts. Djunta Mo Art is committed to an ethical approach; its main objective is to improve the lives of workers by increasing their access to markets, monitoring that no products are made by exploiting juvenile workers, by paying special attention to environmental problems. We currently have about 40 craftspeople we collaborate with and 2 cooperatives from several areas in the archipelago. Some of them, thanks to our support, are beginning to make a living from their work and are hiring personnel in order to increase output. Djunta Mo Art is also official distributor of the project "Maos de Cabo Verde" (Hands of Cape Verde") which brings together 10 women's cooperatives from Santo Antao, Fogo e Santiago. The project also provides and finances the non-profit Nu Bai Association

Yoga Cabo Verde: Pure yoga

Yoga Cabo Verde is dedicated to teaching, improving and expanding your yoga. We offer classes on the Beach and in our Studio. Every class is different and every instructor has a creative, fun and energizing approach to teaching yoga. Yoga Cabo Verde instructors come from such diverse backgrounds: Vinyasa, Hatha, Ashtanga, Kundalini, Iyenger, Sound Healing, Yin etc that we have created classes that incorporate all of them. Our goal is to teach you YOGA, not just the physical aspect but all aspect of the 8 limbs of yoga. Yoga will change your life into something amazing, if you take the time to learn it. Our classes are small so we can adjust your poses and actually teach yoga instead of having you just follow us. What better place to practice yoga, than on holiday on a desert island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

I never review anything. I had an account years ago which has been made defunct because I hadn't posted since 2013 but felt compelled to come here to tell you all fabulous yoga cabo Verde is. We wanted some sunshine, somewhere nice to stay, some yoga, some nice food and maybe a treatment or 2 and Sheena and Marta managed to help with 3 of those 5 things, we stayed in the surfzone apartments, which I can also recommend. They are both great teachers who can provide advice to all level of students simultaneously and try to tailor each class to the needs of each individual there that day. The classes are challenging and fun and cant help but make you happy. Did quite a few classes over the course of a week and loved them all. I had a yoga massage with Marta. I have been a massage therapist for 20 years so I have given and received hundreds, if not thousands of treatments in that time and I can honestly say her shoulder massage is the best I've EVER had. The way she stretched my shoulder to get into it and under the shoulder blade was impressive. I might need to steal that move ???? Had a sound journey with Sheena and have felt great since ???? Cant wait to come back! Big hugs to you both
