Frequently Asked Questions for Visitors

What is SalDestiny and what is it for?
SalDestiny is an informational platform and local directory dedicated to Sal Island (Cabo Verde). Its purpose is to help visitors and residents better understand the island and discover places, services and experiences through clear, practical and contextualised information.
What is the information about each place based on?
Listings on SalDestiny are not commercial profiles or advertisements. Each place is presented through articles created from real public reviews and available sources, summarised to save visitors from having to read dozens of scattered opinions.
Is the information up to date?
We try to keep the information as up to date as possible, but SalDestiny is not a real-time platform. Opening hours, prices or services may change. We always recommend confirming details directly with the business before visiting.
How can I check if a business is still active or updated?
While businesses cannot yet manage their own listings, the most reliable way to check the current status of a place is by clicking the “Get directions” button, which links to Google Maps, where updated information is usually available.
How can I find a business or service on the island?
You can search in several ways: using the search icon, browsing categories, exploring specific areas of the island, or using the main menu and footer shortcuts. Each listing provides enough context to help you decide if a place fits your travel style.
Can I make bookings directly through SalDestiny?
No. SalDestiny does not manage bookings or payments. The platform offers contextual and orientative information so you can decide independently. If direct contact details are not available, the “Get directions” button will usually lead you to Google Maps, where contact information can be found.
How do I contact a listed business?
When available, listings include contact references such as location or external links. In many cases, Google Maps is the most direct way to access updated contact information.
Do I need to register to use SalDestiny?
No. You can browse, search and consult all public information on SalDestiny without creating an account.
Which languages are available?
SalDestiny is currently available in English. Additional languages may be added progressively in the future.
Can I suggest a business or place that is not listed?
Yes. If you know a place that you believe should appear on SalDestiny, you can suggest it using the dedicated form and we will review it.
How can I contact the SalDestiny team?
You can contact us through the website’s contact form or by email. We will respond as soon as possible.
