About us
SalDestiny is an independent guide born on the island of Sal.
It brings together useful information, real places and everyday stories to help people discover the island as it truly is — without filters or empty promises.
It’s not a tourist showcase or an advertising catalogue. It’s a way of documenting the island from the inside, with time, care and perspective.
How it all started
Some projects begin in meeting rooms. This one started with Atlantic wind moving papers around and a coffee that got cold far too quickly.
SalDestiny wasn’t born in an office, but in Santa Maria, facing the ocean, with a notebook full of notes and a clear feeling that this island deserved something different: a guide that tells its story without clichés or brochure phrases.
From the beginning, the idea was simple: observe, listen and write down what really matters when you live on — or visit — Sal.
Who’s behind it
Behind SalDestiny there is a point of view, not a tourism company.
A point of view shaped by many years spent living between Africa and Europe, which eventually led here.
Sal is a place where African rhythms and European habits coexist naturally. One day you’re having cachupa for breakfast, the next you’re enjoying a quiet coffee by the ocean.
That balance, lived from the inside, is what gave shape to this project.
SalDestiny doesn’t aim to speak about the island, but from the island.
What we do
We keep things simple and useful.
- We gather practical information about the island in one place
- We document restaurants, accommodation and spots through real visits
- We give visibility to local businesses without turning them into ads
- We help travellers find their way without wasting time or energy
What we want
No grand missions or catchy slogans. Just a guide that works and stays honest.
- Connect visitors with the island’s everyday reality
- Save travellers time so they can enjoy more
- Respect the character of Sal without turning it into a product
A living guide
Sal is always changing — and so is SalDestiny.
This project isn’t a finished website, but a growing notebook.
If something is missing — a place, a story, a detail — it can be added. The more perspectives come together, the more useful and true the guide becomes.
SalDestiny doesn’t try to have the final word — it simply keeps documenting the island as it unfolds.
