Murdeira is a village in the island of Sal, Cape Verde.

roughly midway along the island's major highway linking Murdeira was originally a small settlement of mostly farmers and fishermen.

[2] Starting in the late 1990s,[3] a major private undertaking led to the building of a seaside tourist village in the region, called "Aldeamento Turístico da Murdeira", which grew a permanent population as the houses were gradually bought, mostly by island locals and some foreigners.

As with the rest of the island, the area around the village is dominated by mostly bare soil and some desert sands.

The village sits in the center of a small cove beach inside the much larger Murdeira Bay (Baía de Murdeira), a nature reserve known for its rich underwater sealife and a small coral reef.
