On December the 11th 1962, South African Airways made an experimental flight and landed at Sal. Once the necessary repairs were made to the landing field, a regular flight began between Johannesburg and Frankfurt, with a stop-over at Sal. In 1967, Mr. Bonenberg, an SAA mechanic living in Espargos asked Mr. and Mrs. Vynckier if they could rent him 2 rooms. With SAA’s obvious desire to shelter its crew, Georges Vynckier started building 6 prefabricated bungalows in 1970. Later, 16 rooms were built with the country’s rocks. Over the years the demand kept on rising along with the number of stopovers from the airline that made Sal its major stopover worldwide (up to 32 “Boeing 747” per week). This way Morabeza became a 140-room hotel, lodging also TAP, TAAG, Cubana, and Aeroflot. In November 1986, President Reagan refused landing rights to SAA on American land. Hotel Morabeza offers a variety of accommodations, in a charming setting, along the finest beach of Sal Island. 90 rooms and 30 suites, with terraces or balconies, overlooking the sea or the gardens.
