Crioula
Clubhotel & Resort
Location |
| |
The Crioula Clubhotel &
Resort is located directly on the beach of Santa
Maria, which stretches for many kilometres, only
about 2 km from the centre of the small fishing
village. The hotel premises border directly on
the sandy beach, which is around 250 m wide.
Santa Maria has experienced
a stormy development. Years ago there was extreme
poverty, and people emigrated in droves, but today
tourism is flourishing, and this has transformed
the former little nest into a lively, colourful
small town, and has brought about immense change
particularly for the local villagers. |

The large number of immigrants
from other islands over the past 10 years, and
also immigrants from West Africa and Europe, has
led to the development of a multicultural society
which has had a great impact on the character
and way of life of the population.
The distance to the international airport, Amilcar
Cabral, which can be reached via a 4-lane highway,
is 12 km. The transfer time is 15 – 20 minutes.
The seat of administration of the island is in
Espargos, a small town with 8,000 inhabitants,
located just 2 km from the international airport,
and which has been able to maintain its natural
origins and traditions to a far greater extent
than Santa Maria. |
