Santa Maria, on the beautiful island of Sal, Cape Verde, is undergoing an exciting transformation — and we’re taking you above it all with stunning 4K drone footage showcasing the latest construction progress. From the sky, you can clearly see how two major developments — the Santa Maria Pier renovation and the construction of the new Barceló Hotel — are reshaping the coastline and preparing the area for a vibrant future.
Our aerial update highlights the incredible work happening along Santa Maria’s iconic waterfront. The drone captures sweeping views of crystal-clear water, golden sandy beaches, and the evolving structure of the pier as it moves closer to completion. These breathtaking visuals offer a unique perspective on how Santa Maria is expanding while still preserving the natural beauty that draws visitors from around the world.
The Santa Maria Pier is set to become more than just a landmark. Once completed, it will serve as a dynamic community space designed to support local tourism, create new opportunities for small businesses, and enhance the overall seaside experience for both locals and travelers.
Alongside the pier, the Barceló Hotel Sal Island is rising on one of the most visited stretches of coastline in Cape Verde. This new addition will bring world-class hospitality, modern facilities, and increased accommodation options, further boosting the region’s appeal.
As Santa Maria continues to grow, these developments represent a major step forward for the island’s future. We’ll be documenting every milestone with new drone footage, construction updates, and detailed insights.
