Sal Island is a great destination for wellness vacations and wellbeing events with wonderful landscapes, idyllic beaches with clear waters and amazing spots such as the Volcano crater where salt is produced. There’s a longstanding tradition on the island of wellness treatments that use salt for therapeutic purposes and as one of the best elements to balance our energies.

In 2019, there was an increase in the number of places to enjoy yoga classes overlooking the sea, wellness retreats took place, and yoga and meditation events chose Sal Island as their destination. The new Robinson Club Resort was launched in Santa Maria, with 307 guestrooms and the concept of a “Sports & Wellfit-Spa” hotel that offers several wellness activities to their guests daily.

A new wellness experience is now also available for tourists in Sal Island. “Salt & Wellbeing in Pedra do Lume saltimes” is a morning excursion which takes us to the salt mines volcano in the north of the island to experience it from a new perspective. You start with a silent walk among the salt pans, followed by a 1-hour breathing session, sophrology, stretching and mindfulness meditation techniques over a salt structure. You also get time to enjoy floating in the natural salt pools or relaxing with a salt and algae treatment.
