We have a luxury self catering apartment called the Blue Lagoon which is located in the 5 star Tortuga Beach Resort & Spa ion Sal in Cape Verde which opened in May 2011. Our apartment is unique as it sleeps up to 6 people in two large bedrooms and a comfortable sofa bed in the living room. It also has two bathrooms. It is only approx 10 minutes drive from the airport in Sal. Tortuga Resort is in a quiet beach front location within easy walking distance of the town of Santa Maria which is the main tourist town on Sal. By night Santa Maria boasts a lively atmosphere with a good choice of bars and restaurants.
The Blue Lagoon Apartment – Sleeps up to 6

Our top floor apartment is the one with the pink flowers

Our apartment is a spacious 2 bedroom apartment with 2 bathrooms and it is situated on the top floor with a large balcony and partial sea views.
It differs from other apartments on the resort as it is a deluxe apartment with additional facilities and personal touches. For example while the other apartments are furnished identically we have decorated our apartment with unique and interesting artwork sourced by the owners from local artists. This helps to create a relaxing ambience and a feel for the local culture. We have also purchased a second leather sofa for the living room to ensure that there is ample seating for a group of up to 6 people. Normally there is just one sofa provided but we felt this was insufficient for our guests. The additional sofa converts to a comfortable double bed if required. The Blue Lagoon is also unique in that we have balcony seating for 6 people rather than the standard 4 seats. Additional touches include vanity mirrors with shelving in the bedrooms. We have also carefully prepared a welcome folder which details important local information such as emergency numbers, local restaurants and ideas for days out and excursions
