Untamed jewel of nature
Ideal for:
Santa Luzia is a unique piece of Cape Verde, completely uninhabited and protected as a nature reserve. On this island, surrounded by crystal clear ocean, you can experience a sense of true wilderness — from rocky cliffs and dry plains to white sandy beaches and dunes in the north, contrasting with the surrounding water.
Peace and quiet reign everywhere. Santa Luzia has been repeatedly declared a natural refuge for rare bird species, sea turtles and the rich underwater world that inhabits coral reefs, as well as migratory ocean inhabitants.
Santa Luzia is a place for those who want to feel the ocean in its most natural form, perceive the strong contrasts and treasures of biodiversity, and at least in their thoughts stay for a while on an island where nature writes its story without human interference.
Although the island has no permanent population and is not normally accessible to tourists, its narrative path is worth learning and admiring — wild, dry landscapes, beautiful beaches and the ocean that rustles around it like a soundtrack to untouched nature.
