Choosing from the hotels with pools on Sal Island allows you to enjoy the destination's climate, alternating between the Atlantic and moments of relaxation within the resort. Outdoor pools play a central role at all three properties, although each one offers a different atmosphere.
Meliá Dunas Beach Resort & Spa and SOL Dunas Family Fun offer an experience especially geared towards families, while Meliá Laguna Beach is reserved for adults. This makes it possible to choose between water areas and family activities or an environment designed for a couple's stay.
The three hotels are located in the Santa Maria area, in the south of Sal Island, but they have different profiles.
| Hotel | Category | Profile | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meliá Dunas Beach Resort & Spa | 5 stars | All Inclusive · Family · Slides · Yhi Spa | Several outdoor pools · children's pool · water park · beachfront location |
| Meliá Laguna Beach | 5 stars | All Inclusive · Yhi Spa · Romantic | Outdoor pools · Adults Only +16 · swim-up · beachfront location |
| SOL Dunas Family Fun | 4 stars | All Inclusive · Slides · Yhi Spa | Outdoor pools · children's pool · splash park · access to family water areas |
This variety allows you to choose accommodation taking into account both the pool and the type of trip: as a family, as a couple or with the intention of spending a good part of your holiday inside the resort.
Meliá Dunas Beach Resort & Spa has several outdoor pools, as well as children's water areas and a water park. Its proposal allows you to alternate between areas for resting and others designed for children's entertainment.
At Meliá Laguna Beach, the pools are aimed exclusively at adults. The hotel has outdoor pools and some rooms allow direct access to the water via the swim-up format, an option especially linked to couple's stays.
SOL Dunas Family Fun concentrates a good part of its proposal around the water. It has outdoor pools, a shallow area for the little ones and a splash park. Guests can also access certain water areas of the neighbouring Meliá Dunas complex, including the slides subject to their corresponding height restrictions.
The three hotels are located in the south of Sal Island, near Santa Maria. This area allows you to combine the resorts' pool areas with Atlantic beaches and visits to one of the main tourist hubs on the island.
Santa Maria beach is one of the destination's coastal benchmarks, although the three properties are not located exactly on the same beach. From this part of the island, you can also organise tours to other landscapes on Sal.
Among them, the Pedra de Lume salt pans stand out, located inside the crater of an old volcano and linked to the history of salt extraction that gives the island its name.
Amílcar Cabral International Airport, located on Sal Island, is the main air gateway to the destination. From there, you can continue by road towards Santa Maria and the area where the three hotels are located.
The dry climate and mild temperatures allow you to travel to Sal Island at different times of the year. To choose dates, it is also advisable to take into account the wind, sea conditions and planned activities, especially if you want to combine pool, beach and water sports.
Although the three properties have a pool, the type of experience changes considerably. Before choosing, it is worth assessing whether the trip is for a family or a couple and how much weight the water facilities will have during the stay.
It depends on the type of trip. Meliá Dunas Beach Resort & Spa and SOL Dunas Family Fun have a strong family profile and offer different water areas for adults and children. Meliá Laguna Beach is intended exclusively for Adults Only +16, making it more suitable for those looking for an environment geared towards couples or trips without children.
All three hotels have outdoor pools. At Meliá Dunas Beach Resort & Spa and SOL Dunas Family Fun, these are complemented by water facilities for families and children. Meliá Laguna Beach has outdoor pools for adults and also offers swim-up accommodation with direct access to the water.
It depends on the hotel. Meliá Dunas Beach Resort & Spa has a children's pool and water park, while SOL Dunas Family Fun has shallow areas, a splash park and access to slides in the neighbouring complex. Meliá Laguna Beach is not an option for families with children, as it operates as an Adults Only +16 establishment.
Meliá Dunas Beach Resort & Spa is located facing the sea in the Algodoeiro area, and Meliá Laguna Beach also occupies a beachfront location in the Ponta Preta area. SOL Dunas Family Fun is located a little further from the coast, although you can access the beach on foot. Therefore, it is worth distinguishing between having close access to the coast and being located directly facing the sea.
Sal Island has a dry and warm climate for a good part of the year, so dates can be chosen based on the type of activities planned. For a holiday focused on the pool and beach, it is also worth considering the wind and Atlantic conditions. If you plan to practice water sports or go on excursions, check the usual conditions for the specific time of your trip. If you are looking for hotels with pools on Sal Island, Meliá offers three alternatives in the Santa Maria area to combine outdoor pools, beach and relaxation: from family proposals with water areas to an Adults Only resort for a couple's stay.

“Quero deixar um elogio muito especial ao Paulo, porque há pessoas que merecem ser reconhecidas não só pelo trabalho que fazem, mas também pela diferença que fazem nos outros. O Paulo é, sem dúvida, uma dessas pessoas. A sua presença na supervisão do restaurante transmite confiança, organização e profissionalismo. Nota-se a sua dedicação, a atenção que dá aos detalhes e a forma como acompanha o serviço. E digo isto porque, quando ele não estava presente, a diferença sentia-se mesmo. Faltava aquela orientação, aquele acompanhamento e aquela presença que fazem com que tudo funcione de outra forma. Até breve 🇨🇻 P.R”See hotel

“Totally forgot to post my review from April 2026, had a great time even though there was major confusion over the two rooms we booked, got sorted after 2 long days of our holiday. Lemon sharks etc well worth a visit...restaurants were very very good and catered for all inc vegetarians etc. Would recommend upgrading your wrist band.”See hotel
