Melia Llana Beach Resort & Spa - Adults Only

A poised inhabitant of the sandy shores of Santa Maria, Melia Llana Beach Resort & Spa is a revelation of refined contemporary opulence. Located directly off the cobalt waves of the Atlantic, this adults-only haven commands attention with its tasteful blend of modernity and tropical aesthetic. Upon arrival, guests are enveloped in a sense of tranquility; the lobby, adorned with minimalist decor and vibrant local art, serves as a seamless transition from the outside world to this elegant retreat. The soft sounds of ocean waves accompany your first moments, complemented by expertly designed installations that beckon the eye. Journey deeper into the resort to discover chic suites, inviting lounges, and the pièce de résistance: a rooftop terrace offering sweeping ocean views, ideal for sunset cocktails. Guests can unwind at the on-site restaurant and bar, where culinary excellence meets local flavor, complemented by an extensive beverage menu.

Explore the Local Area

Key points of interest, from the cultural pulse at Funana Casa da Cultura (just 2.5 km away) to the lush grounds of Viveiro Botanical Garden & Zoo di Terra (6 km), invite exploration and adventure. Stroll to local markets or engage with the vibrant community, easily accessible via a short drive or even by foot. The area is rich with opportunities for immersion in Cape Verdean culture, and the nearby Church of the Nazarene is a historical landmark worth visiting. For those arriving at Amilcar Cabral International Airport, the transfer is a quick 20 km, ensuring an effortless start to your stay.
