Cape Verde Hotels
Tempted by holidays in Cape Verde? You should be. Because this new holiday hotspot is so exotically unusual, coming here is one big magical mystery tour.
Curious? First, think ten shimmering, seductively-named islands off West Africa: Sal, Maio, Fogo, Brava, Boavista, Sao Vicente, Santo Antao, Santiago, Sao Nicolau and Sao Vicente. Next, imagine a mesmerising melting pot of African, Brazilian and Portuguese cultures, colours and sounds. Add generous slices of sugar-white beach. Lastly, garnish with brightly coloured towns and moon-desert landscapes. And there you have it: a little piece of what holidays in Cape Verde promise.
For most, holidays in Cape Verde mean holidays in Sal. It's the most developed island, yet still blissfully unbuilt-up. Here, you'll find azure seas and vast beaches wrapped around dream-like deserts. And the southern resort of Santa Maria. This picturebook town has a friendly vibe, cobblestoned lanes and pastel-painted houses and eateries. And an incredibly long swathe of silky sands, luminescent seas and watersports like diving and windsurfing.
Make sure you sample the other treats of Cape Verde holidays. Watch a fluorescent sunset whilst feasting on super-fresh seafood. Visit Sal's capital, Espargos, and swim in the eye-popping Blue Eye Lagoon.
