Santa Maria: City Hotels and Accommodation
As a tourist destination, the island of Santa Maria contains a decent selection of hotels, situated around the island and scattered in several small resort areas, although the majority are located both in and around Vila do Porto.
Further accommodation can be found in nearby Praia Formosa, which lies to the east, while the north-easterly resort of Baia de Sa Lourenço also boasts a number of popular waterfront hotels and guest houses. Booking ahead during the busy summer the season on Santa Maria is strongly recommended, as available accommodation can be in short supply at this time of the year.
